I love, love, love, love, love this video clip and used to play it over and over again, not knowing when to ever stop. Soooo beautiful. This is lost in modern times and we're not going to get this back again...
tracker - It's been a long time since I've seen that one. F Murray Abraham deserved every award he got for that, but I also liked Jeffrey Jones at the emperor. It's not the most obvious piece of casting, as he's so associated with comedy, but it worked.
"Amadeus" is in my top 10 best movie list. I used to play the CD, including a bit of the Requiem all the time. I looked at streaming services. It has always been a rental. I am checking now to see if it is streaming on Prime Video, as the article says.
Kåre Enga in Montana It was touch and go as to whether I posted this or Ombra Mai Fu, though that might well make an appearance later in the month. There's a biennial opera contest in the UK - Cardiff Singer Of The World - and I recall from way back in the late eighties a performance of Ombra Mai Fu by the then relatively unknown baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky. That was the first time I'd ever heard the piece, and it was quite the shock to later hear it sung by a countertenor and to find out it was written for a castrato!
I have a set of CDs that get regular playtime, one of which is a recording of the Music For Royal Fireworks and all the Water Music suites performed by The Academy Of St Martin-In-The-Fields under Neville Marriner. If I need something relaxing, it's either that, a CD of piano works by Schubert or a CD of Spanish guitar music played by John Williams. It's just as well CDs don't wear out or these three would have had to be replaced several times over.
