Titanic benefit: Caruso sings "The Lost Chord"

Has to be maybe an A flat. You are right ..certainly not an F as user LordMgls suggested

Yeah.

Lol you guys are funny. :D

Let's see- I'm pretty sure I was at the premiere of Beethoven's 9th symphony.... =D

Well, one has to be a bit nutty to cherish a tenor that died almost a century ago - or for that matter a deaf and somewhat crazy German composer that died several centuries ago (I love Beethoven, by the way) :-)

Heh heh maybe so. I've always thought that people who didn't appreciate opera and classical were nuts, but maybe we're the nutty ones. :D

It's fun though, thinking about what great musical events you could have attended had you been alive then ;-D

I guess, we just might be the nutty ones - compared to the garden variety homo sapiens...
As to the past life issue, this is not very "popular" in the Western World, but in India (for some 10.000 years) and in the larger part of Asia it is a firm belief that the spirit (the personality) - being immaterial - doesn't die with body death. Many of the old Greek philosophers like Socrates and Plato held this belief too. So maybe you WERE present at the premiere of the 9th :-)

I was at that benefit . If anybody could have raised the dead that day it would have been the glorious voice of Caruso He was stirring and his sound shook you to the bone! He sang this song and an aria from Pagliacci and Rigoletto. Tetrazzini was wondeful as well! She sang a Traviata aria.. I haven't heard singing like that since. Caruso's voice, especially on the top notes, was remarkable in person. That I remember. This recording brings back fond memories of that day.

Wow. You actually recall the benefit from a past life? - No problem as far as I'm concerned! I recall a performance of his in Paris - it made a such an impression on me that I never forgot it (that's why I keep uploading his work).

The power & conviction of his delivery overrides the accented diction some may be concerned (and amused) with. Confess to not being aware of the date of the recording, and what... just hours before the benefit concert? Another great, albiet tragic piece of history. THANK YOU! All Best. Doug --

cedimento strutturale?

Hahah....soccer talk okay....I agree with Sullivan..the songs that "come to me" are better than the ones I compose from my scanty musical knowledge.
