Winged victory

archangel_of_fabulousThe Archangel of Fabulous (or, as he’s known under that helmet,  Andrew Richards) has been following the several Calixto Bietio Parsifal discussions on our little blog quite closely and in fact he has commented, answered and otherwise reacted to a number of the parterriani concerns on his own blog, Opera Rocks.

    Bravo La Cieca. Bravo tenor Richards. Bravo the high quality reached in this (and other) discussions. Bryan Magee’s “Tristan Chord” — his study of Wagner and Schopenhauer, is invaluable to anyone seeking to understand any of this ;-) Bravissimi!

    Compliments to Andrew Richards for all that he wrote on his Blog about the Parsifal discussions on Parterre. Richard’s Don José was one of the best characterizations I’ve seen and beautifully sung as well.

    PS: Looks like Petibon borrowed the wings for her new Salzburg Lulu!
