Fidelio! Just saw the opera Friday in Seattle. Incredible!

[spaceray]

From Rinaldo by Handel "Sul tuo volto le grazie vezzosette."

Say Suzie, give use the low down on Fidelio.
Seattle is a great place for the opera I saw Peter Grimes there years and years ago,Chaszz
might be intrested to know that they do a lot of (and apparently a fine job of)Wagner's Operas

Yes, I've read about that...

Sibelius' Night Ride and Sunrise, Scottish NO, Alexander Gibson. I can do without the Night Ride, but the Sunrise is very moving! I heard this on the radio a week or two ago, and ordered it. Reminds me of the sunrise in Richard Strauss' An Alpine Symphony, another great one.

I think we have the same CD, is it coupled with the German Dances by Neville Marriner/ASMF? I listen to it a lot while i drive as well, King Stephen is very good to listen to in heavy traffic! I like this CD, although i have to say that i prefer Norrington/LCP's versions of Coriolan & Egmont.

Poseidan,

The particular CD I have is just purely the Overtures and not coupled with the German Dances.

I also have, By my favourite Berlin Philharmonic, Egmont and Leonora no.3

On a separate CD I also have by the Berlin Philharmonic, the wonderful heaven storming Symphony No.9, conducted by Herbert von Karajan.


p.s. I travel to and from work by train.

Well, lady, you'll have to do better than that. I am willing to wager that Vivaldi wrote at least 5 violin concertos in a minor, and we want the juicy details!! ;-))

My regrets dearboy, this mp3 comes entirely unidentified,I will have to listen to them all so I can tell you which one this is.
The performance is electrifying,I was on the edge of my seat.

Op59 No3 played by the Schuppanzigh Quartett using Beethoven's own (as far as we know, with some reservations) instruments.
