Same here.

Just don't let that stop you. I never have! :)

EDIT: Made some revisions to the poem above.

Not to mention the possible effect on the singers! :ohmy:

Claudia Muzio
(1889 – 1936)

I never thought I’d love an older woman,
and surely not one seventy years my senior.
But from the faded past, she reaches out:
a voice that captures, captivates my...

Great purchase, great bargain. If I didn't already have the Rienzi, the Lohengrin, and the Tristan, I might be tempted myself.

^^^ Masur did some great work--his Liszt tone poems are the best around. Hope you enjoy his Mendelssohn!

Forgot to mention a purchase I made last week at my local Little Shop:

A tremendous, no-holds-barred live...

Many have tried, but no one can corrige me.

What a great team those two made! Right up there with Mozart and Da Ponte, Verdi and Boito, Strauss and Hofmannsthall, and Comden and Green!

No, seriously, I have it under control. And when I put on the dress, wig, and makeup, I really *do* look just like her!

Woo hoo! Amazon gift card! Gotta love Christmas! I found these two inexpensive box sets of Callas live performances.

I now have Breton's La Verbena de la Paloma, featuring Placido Domingo, in my vast unlistened-to-CD pile.

Someday maybe I too will find out if I like zarzuela.

Two cats . . . I'd say a few more CDs than that.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how the downsizing would work. So far, I've been no more successful at making the cats smaller than I was with the CDs.

Yes, I already had it in my sights.

Eventually, I'll run out of room. Do I downsize on CDs and DVDs, or on cats? :dejection:

^^^ I took a course on the Beethoven sonatas a couple of years ago; the instructor touted the Barenboim and the Alfred Brendel as her favorite sets.

As most of you know, over the past few months I've made large purchases of used classical CDs from someone I met online who is looking to pare down his extensive personal collection. This process...

Sure . . . that's what we'll say it was . . . :rolleyes1:
