Can't go wrong with Dmitri's voice...a dream come true. Pair that with Ann's husband's qualities and I might consider marriage one day. Kidding! I looked up the story of Don Giovanni - oh my. Here is a cute blurb on a canadian opera singer's thoughts while trying to learn the Batti batti aria:
http://deadwildroses.wordpress.com/2011/05/20/mozart-don-giovanni-k-527-zerlinas-batti-batti-aria/ I grew up with opera and classical, but I didn't care for most of it as no one else I knew was forced to listen to it. My grandparents had season tickets forever to the symphony, to the opera, to the ballet. I had little TV before 12 and none after for many years. I was a huge book reader. No real exposure to pop culture until Pop got us a radio of our own as he was walking out the door when we hit our teen years. I craved pop culture; I wanted to relate. With all that crosses FFL, I feel that I've caught up on pop culture and now this...coming full circle I am and I am so delighted I can appreciate opera and classical now. Ha ha....time for a glass of ginger ale. I'm getting all mushy and don't want to make myself ill with all this gratitude talk. >________________________________ > From: emptybill <emptyb...@yahoo.com> >To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com >Sent: Sunday, December 16, 2012 4:47 PM >Subject: [FairfieldLife] The seduction of the beautiful > > > >Ladies – You just wish you could be seduced like this: >Don Giovanni – La ci darem la mano >Sung byDmitri Hvorostovsky and Renee Fleming >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iZHwbxLBO0 > > >
