Doug, beautiful duet. Thank you. Maya

This is gorgeous!~ Granforte is incredibly well named, isn't he?

I prefer Seraphim in opera to Toscanini, Furtwangler was a great conductor. No bums in this crowd.

@65attila You know, I don't think I have heard the Rossini(really surprising considering that I love Rossini so much!), but knowing me, just might like it... I guess it's like voices -- no one voice is the be-all-end-all for everyone! tx for the comment!

I think Toscanini was a GREAT conductor IMO. His performaces of Strauss'
Don Quixote and Franck's Symphony are glorious as well as his Beethoven, Brahms and Wagner. I do wish he would have given singers more latitude in complete operas though.
Have you ever heard Furtwangler conduct Rossini's "la Gaza Ladra" Overture? It is ponderous and as flat as a bottle of champagne open for 24 hours. No one is perfect.

@CurzonRoad hehe! It's available in every format since it was recorded - I'm surprised it's not on here...
Such a great recording. What a treat, again.
