thank you, Mr and Mrs. Talbot!

@kayzalk3 Go watch Madam Butterlfly, listen carefully to Un Bel Di, see the Cho Cho San in you, cry your heart out. You'll feel better. I hope.

stunning! Despampanante! Stupefiant!

Since Una Voce was a signature song for La Divina, I always assumed it required a soprano soprano, not a mezzo soprano. Ya learn sumtin everyday if you keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut. And I always assumed the Moors were from, like ummmm, Mooracko? Is there no end to what I c...

When I see my beautiful black 1995 BUICK Riviera in the parking lot, it stands out next to the bland uni-design of today's crv's and econoboxes. It looks like its poised to leap, like a sleek black panther. The Dodge Challenger, Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang ... sleek, cat-like beauties as well...

and is it not so for all the precious things ... the swallow, this great tenor, all the people we grew up with listening to such artistry, the great loves of our short lives, our children who grow up and leave us ... someday we are alone ... but when we are, we just say: magic youtube ... take me...

good one, mr blue sky !

pure unadulterated delight. thanx charlie, wherever you are. can't wait to go out and buy a cd of your many many fabulous songs!

How this collection of mumbles, this cacophony of thin, reedy voices, qualifies as Christmas music escapes these old ears. Do you ardent fans have even the vaguest notion of what harmony, lyricism, melodiousness, vocal plasticity, sonority are? If these guys set up shop in the subway station, t...

any attempt to trade in the 'Bieb' for anyone will be met with force by approximately 10 million screaming adoring 7 to 13 year old 'Bieb' fans. Get rid of someone else: 50 thents, Kanye West ... Lady Gag Me ...

Got my first J.M. l.p. in 1963. Both sides of l.p., all 12 or so songs, top hits. And the period covered was just the 1950's! He sings at least once per year in my town ... even though JM now in 70's, newspaper critic always gives v. favorable review ...

movie is not to be missed. Actor who filled in for Mario (he got fired off the set for ?? reasons, probably either his weight or his hot temperatment), that actor does a gr8 job lip synchrnonizing with Mario's awesome singing.

Luke Morgagni: I plead ignorance on your 3 suggestions for Hall of Fame conductors. Now that I am finally retired, I can listen to each one in depth . Thanx for your faves! Looking over my list, see now that it is hardly exhaustive of my personal faves: forgot Charles Munch and Erick Leinsdor...

my 7 to 10 y/o's at school are nuts for Justin. It is so o o o much fun to see them squirming and giggling when I would put JB up on the tv monitor in the classroom. One swell kid: no tattoos, no foul language, no drugs, alcohol, fun music, and a world of success from years of hard work.

Beauty, feeling, tenderness, beyond words. In the 1960's, an Argentine pop singer, Leo Dan, sang a Spanish version translator: Quesada. I wonder whose are the orginal lyrics. It went: Divina Ilusion, que yo forge, un suen(y)o fue, que no se realizo. Sin tu querer, siento que mi alma se desgar...

lovely, airy, unforced ... v. much like the Lt. in South Pacific who finds himself falling in love with the heavenly Polynesian beauty.

beyond my poor powers to add or ... with all of his other gifts and talents, his voice's TIMBER, its strengthening with passion and conviction as his character urges his troops on to glory ... Love 'em all, Bjoerling, Corelli, Del Monaco, Carreras, Placido, Mario Lanza ... and then there's Lucian...

thank you ever so much, nomorewoe. Had no idea ML was recorded pre-Toast of New Orleans, Hollywood, 1949+. This '48 Nessum is a work of art ... his powerful diaphragm and golden throat squeeze out the notes in billows of effortless, floating notes ... No attempt to 'blow us out of the concert h...

gr8 but i would have expected a little more variety in the tone. it's always scolding, even when words are not , ...

'with malice toward none '

magnifique. may all of us re examine our stupid hatreds and resentments ... we get one go-round ...

simply superb. every bit as moving as the day i first heard and saw these words being spoken 40 years ago ...

Got back to my home town (Mex Cy) after a 20 year absence. Walked to beautiful (walled) house of h.s. class favorite and great friend. Maid smiled ... 'si, conozco la familia' ... EVERYONE knew that wonderful family ... 'ya no viven aqui'. When she saw that register on my face: "Oh, I am so so...

La Marta with her protege, Ivo with his champion. Great photo. Beats heck outta me how anyone likes this music ... (music?); but the photo is fab!

a shortage of taste would be just about the last thing I'd expect to hear about Benn ya Meee No. My grandmother (1895-1986) heard both Caruso and Gigli, from the 'teens to the 1920's and 30's. She told us she did not notice any discernible drop off in quality from Immortal #1 to the next Immort...

John Gary. One of a kind. They broke the mold after they (God and his parents) made him. Range, beauty, power, restraint, artistry ... deep, deep respect for the songwriter's intent, magical, inimitable touches of the musical interpretation genius ... How, oh how he enriched our lives! Got to...

ast onishing.

Biggest influence: her teacher back in China.

Mom's a dancer, dad a percussionist. Femenine, pretty, well adjusted, happy.

What a blessing.
