Re-entrance
La Cieca (not pictured) has just accessed a new feature in YouTube that imported a dozen or so “classic” parterre video clips from Google Video into the familiar YouTube interface. For your viewing pleasure, then: Classic Parterre on YouTube.
And to think that before today, I had never heard a note of Marton’s Brünnhilde. Thank you, La Cieca.
What treasures! Thank you, la cieca. I didn’t know about the google videos so it’s wonderful to find all this on youtube.
The quizzes were fun, weren’t they? I was going to do an ‘Abscheulicher!’ quiz at one point but the editing was so fiddly that I gave it up in an adolescent strop.
I loved the singers identification quizzes. Bring them back!
Well.
I have also been thinking about the quizzes and would love to see them become an occasional feature on Parterre again. They were really fun. This may be a dumb question, but why did Armer mention them? Are they filed somewhere?
They’re in the youtube selection which is the subject of the thread- click the link to find them.
Unusual choice for Schipa. There is a much better clip of him singing the same aria on youtube recorded in 1925.
Now I’ll definitely not get any work done today….
I never thought I’d see or hear Livia Budai again--and singing with Gwyneth????
… and, even better, with French subtitles.
Great stuff altogether -- Grazie, La C!
