Thank you for this wonderful posting and for not leaving the background pitch black. Nice choice for a visual. I enjoyed your offering under the info section.

Wonderful.

"Dido's Death"es la música mas bella compuesta por Herny Purcell.

Congratulations.

[LindoroRossini]

I thought that creating a link between these two wonderful works would be a perfect opportunity to compare two early masterpieces of English opera :). And congratulations on your postings :D!

I agree with you. It´s a very good idea.
