CerquettiFarrell is a very worthy winner, I enjoyed his or her examples a great deal. As BAB says, it's the pleasure of sharing what you think is really great that is so fun about these competitions, doesn't really matter whether there is a prize or not.

Off topic, but Liceau is apparently once again pushing the boundaries of gratuitous nudity in opera. But if there's any opera where gratuitous would be appropriate, I think les mamelles de Tiresias is the one. Poulenc would have been happy.

But not today. :) Congrats CerquettiFarrell. I, too, have learned lots from your posts.

That's why I am in awe of CerquettiFarrell, and all the near-winners too. Some of us just can’t find the words to describe what we’re hearing (good and bad sometimes).

Some will only act with the impetus of a prize; to others the prize and the rules are totally irrelevant.

But as I've written to cara Cieca, my feet are firmly planted, alas, in the Mediterranean and visiting the States now is widely out of the question. So I gladly pass the prize to the second winner in succession and remain happily honoured to the tips of my nails. As Sally Field once said "you love me, you love me, you love me".
