Should have been on my Easter music playlist. Now it is.
Baritone Huw Montague Rendall and Elisabeth Boudreault are a couple in real life. And it shows here, the chemistry between them is like, perfect. She's also from the Saguenay region, like I am.
Ha, can't imagine how their household is run! But it is fun to watch for sure (and well sung!).
They're really cute together. I told my eight year old son they're like mummy and daddy, except in reverse: he's from the UK, she's from Québec. He said: "She's his girlfriend? I can see why." My wife said: "Hey, I'm not sure l like that lad talk!"
Anyway, proof that opera is not stuffy.
well, there's something she'll have to get used to... And indeed, if that inspires the young lad to listen to classical music, all must be forgiven, no?
I hope it inspires the young lad to marry a Québec girl, but hey... he's quite into Mozart now, if only because we eat Mozart Kugeln when we listen to it.

Love this. So much. Carmen is my first operatic love.
Carmen is one of my favorite opera's, I bought a 1976 performance by the London Philharmonic Orchestra on CD yesterday conducted by Sir Georg Solti.
It's such a brilliant opera. A very dramatic score that actually moves the plot forward, complex characters and maybe the catchiest tunes of classical music.
Testing out a new DAC for my computer, I can hear every intricate note in crystal clarity of my digital recording, sounds amazing.
Too often people forget that Vivaldi's Four Seasons aren't only the first movement of Spring.
Indeed there are many great stand out pieces from Four Seasons.

My favourite of Vivaldi's Four Seasons is Autumn. Well, it also happens to be my favourite season.
And here's another bit of Vivaldi:

Just been listening to the soundtrack to the film Platoon, haunting piece of music...
Vienna Philharmonic & Gustavo Dudamel – Barber: Adagio for Strings, Op.11 (SNC 2019)
As a kid I watched a TV recording of it performed - on ice! Bloody brilliant.
found it:
Still getting warm watching this.
