This harpsichord actually sounds more like a harp than a harpsichord
Greetings. https://uploads.disquscdn.c...
A buddy--former accompanist who's become a fantastic scholar, musician, teacher, and dad--had a very good time of it in the house last week, so I'm optimistic that we're in for a...
Given that those in-house dumplings are, by definition, contraband, I find Gencer to be one of the most gratifying to enjoy this way. It's always an act of imagination: what must it...

Surprising this one is getting a HD. Here's hoping things have tightened up since the prima and maybe a spring breeze blew some energy into the stage door.
A bit heartbreaking, that high note on the first record (at 1:02). When that happens, it's not a flaw of technique, really. Rather, it's a ruinous bit of thick mucus on the larynx. You...

Thanks for the two exiting clips She was a great artist. As I have said on here before I became a fan of Gencer after hearing her in excerpts from a pirate recording I bought for Caballe. I have...
You can hear her not messing up the top C on her 1970 Scala Borgia. I can't tell which one is more exiting. Lol

The conducting was good nothing earth shattering, but it certainly didn’t get in the way. It was musically a fantastic production. It was incredible.

I am not saying anything. I’m curious to see what other people think about the physical production. But the singing, like I said was fantastic. All were incredible.

Maybe it was Lily Pons or Freida Hempel interpolating Fille du Regiment in it as they were preparing to escape to France with Mario!

Apparently the rights to stream Moby Dick were an issue. Last season featured several contemporary HDs, so I can only assume they sold poorly, thus they programmed less for the HD.
Oh my.

It's bizarre, because contemporary operas and Met premieres would be my first picks for HD. Lower risk, plus a better view. But I suppose broadcast rights are a big issue.
