It was 1971 or 2 and my best friend Jonelle was a gifted mezzo soprano,(still is) in a music class at the University of New Orleans. She invited me to the class Christmas party. 2 female students sang this umpromtu and acapella and I, who was all about Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Doors, etc. was enchanted. I have never forgotten it and never will. They sang it slowly and reverently and had no idea how it influenced me. Beautiful!
@Whistlejocket Thank you! It is so amazing to be able to share how a piece of music and a moment in life awakened me to a whole new world of beautiful sound!
Joe Ann Bitter est superbe vocalementJe ne sais si c'est elle qui assurait la doublure de Leila pour les pecheurs de perles a L'ile Maurice l'année dernière,mais elle aurait été sublime en Leila,ce qui ne diminue en aucun cas le talent de notre Leila nationale,Veronique Zuhel qui a interpreté son rôle avec un tel brio.
:) I meant just for that recital ... I didn't see the opera but I know the music starts like that with a scene with the characters to put the audience into the atmosphere ...
...if that were so...there would be no music...no beauty...but you are close...we are created in the image...of God. He looks into our faces the way that we look into the faces of our dear children...hoping, longing for... only the best for them.
Signora annablumehh, mi accorgo sempre di più che la stupidità umana non ha limiti. La sua gelosia nei confronti della signorina Bitter (che è una cantante eccezionale) è evidente. Se lei è una cantante ci faccia ascoltare le sue qualita vocali e doti interpretative.
@annablumehh wenn du diese musik nicht magst, dann klick doch einfach nicht drauf.... jeder hat doch nen anderen geschmack, und darüber lässt sich nicht streiten!
Espetáculo de contralto, muito lindo.

Um Gottes Willen, wann endlich verschwindet dieses graßliche Gekreische hier aus youtube.
Es ist kaum auszuhalten.
Auch, daß Kritik einfach mal gelöscht wird, ist besonders lustig!!!
Sehr professionell! *augenverdreh*

Offenbach wrote "introduction" too, and it would be a pity not to hear such a beautiful music as the initial part for piano solo
