How are you getting on with this one Florestan? Do you like it?Originally Posted by Florestan
For myself, I'm finally getting around to listening to a November Rossini acquisition,
L'assedio Di Corinto, with the lovely Beverly Sills and Marilyn Horne
I am still struggling with Ottone in Villa. It may be because I am on a huge mezzo kick and that one is all sopranos for the ladies. I will keep coming back to it though. It is a great recording even if no mezzos.
I just pulled one of my Sills binge purchases out for another listen (inspired by my starting to watch the same on DVD with Janet Baker):
And it has Maureen Forrester too!
"Ah,non credea mirarti si presto estinto, o fiore." --Bellini, La Sonnambula (also written on his tomb).
another one of my favourites!

I have a terrible cold and since it really can't get much worse I decided to open a bottle of wine (or two, you will never know) and listen to some familiar music.
My boyfriend found me sitting between two speakers wrapped in a blanket with the stuffiest nose in South America weeping to Norma's death.
Comfort opera...
I hope you're feeling better!
Started my new Rigoletto recording this morning on my morning commuteVery happy with it so far

I love that French opera series from Glossa. The covers are nice! I remember I bought Sémélé just because the cover was so good looking... That tells a lot about me, I guess.
While I wait for the new Ottone...
Edit: That Ottone was wonderful. I greatly appreciate McGegan's Handel.

The cover to that Prosperine did play a part in my deciding to purchase that one... but at that time I did also think that I needed to have the entire Glossa catalogue too
I still do.
You could maybe omit the Biondi ICeIM
Phew that took some detective work. I wouldn't pursue that one I must say.
