  • Nice pictures.

    I played Kathleen Ferrier, while this was playing; instead of the featured artist -have you been to Las Vegas?

    Was that you in the white toweling gown? at 2:34.

    I found Las Vegas to be a bit too much like a resort town, the people were very friendly and so too, were the locals I met, there.

    What say you?

    Cheers.

    from,

    del-boy.

  • This is from a William Klein's film, Le Messie.

  • The speed is insane, but about right. I tried singing along and it's a lot easier at this speed if you *have* a vocal technique.

    It is in 6/8 which is 2 in a bar...

    Asawa doesn't really phrase off zion though, which arguably he *should* since the 2nd syllable is naturally weaker than the first when you say it (i.e. a "feminine" ending).

  • His voice is rather feminine though...

  • what's with the casino? i feel like it really doesn't apply. Jesus' birth wasn't about flashiness and pomp.

  • wow, I was fooled during the recitative, I though it was a woman!

  • Now this is the way this aria should be done! Minkowski is the greatest conductor in the world!

  • How fun! Yes, a crazy tempo, but nice to have, and coupled with film makes great brain food.

  • Oh, excuse me for that! I love it even more now =]]

  • The singer is not a woman, but a counter-tenor : Brian Asawa.
