Hi Erik,

Many thanks for your Email.  I hope to hear the Andrea Boccelli CD soon.  I
have two of his other CD's which are pretty good.  Funnily enough, I am not
over keen on the Intermezzo from Cavilierer Rusticana, to my ears it's
certainly pleasant but it lacks that Mascagni magic.  The melody lacks bite
and subtle twists and turns which is normally so inherant in Mascagni's
music. I feel the intermezzo could have been written by any competent
composer but is wasted when written by someone of Mascagni's talent.

I am still looking for the Montpelia recording of Parisina.  I was unable to
locate a copy in Florida which I have just come back from.  If you comre
across a copy maybe I could pay you to buy it and post it to me if it's not
too much trouble.

I look forward to seeing your new website.

Kind regards

Michael
