All right, there's a bit of a delay, I hope the public's safety will not be jeopardized in the meantime. I'm consulting my lawyers to see if I need 17 court orders, or if one mentioning "Clayton and/or his multiple personalities" will do. You just wait. I'm coming for you.Originally Posted by Clayton

Sure, I can wait. No, problem as I am time rich. Some of the others are leaving though. They say they've had enough of this and are going to get a drink.
Though they're starting to argue over whether it should be whiskey or wine. Huh! They're crazy.
Just remember that with multiple personae, one is never lonely ...
The same can be said of marriage . . . but look at the divorce rate!Just remember that with multiple personae, one is never lonely ...

Isn't it just, even with Mario belting away.
Just gorgeous!

A great match for Renata's vocal style, this opera gets no respect but is has great music and many nice arias, we are lucky to have that Decca studio recording with "A" list cast.
Just gorgeous!
Spent a weekend with Anna. You can say I lost my head a bit
1958

It is a pity the beautiful Leyla Gencer did not spend time in the studio.

Oh, OK. That Anna. When you said "spent a weekend with Anna" I got jealous.

I wanted to revisit Imelda since JohnGerald (? was it?) mentioned I Capuleti e i Montecchi with Cabell...
Donizetti: Imelda de’ Lambertazzi
Nicole Cabell (Imelda), James Westman (Bonifacio Geremei), Massimo Giordano (Lamberto), Frank Lopardo (Orlando Lambertazzi), Brindley Sherratt (Ubaldo)

The essay in the booklet by Jeremy Commons tells us that the duet between Imelda and Bonifacio was revised for Anna Bolena for Giuditta Pasta (Anna) and Giovanni Battista Rubini (Percy).
Despite spending nearly nine hours with Anna over the weekend, before reading the booklet (for the second time)...
Where do I know that from?...
dumb a$$!
Too busy today to sit and watch anything. So, I decided on an old favorite - I love studio recordings!
More Donizetti tragedy, again love destroyed by Guelphs and Ghibellines feud. This one a later work, first premiered in 1837 (as opposed to Imelda 1830) but with many revisions later. The Opera Rara recording includes recordings for three further revisions.
Donizetti: Pia de' Tolomei
Majella Cullagh (Pia), Bruce Ford (Ghino degli Armieri), Roberto Servile (Nello della Pietra), Manuela Custer (Rodrigo), Mirco Palazzi (Piero), Mark Wilde (Ubaldo), Patrizia Bicciré (Bice), Marco Vinco (Lamberto), Christopher Turner (Un carceriere)
