Hadn't seen this one before;

[vetuste_ennemi]

I ought to have said Méditation from Thaïs.

[vetuste_ennemi]

...and it's the artist rather than the music which is new to me.

A tribute to Mikey: Maria Callas in good voice.

And while I don't know your favourite soprano, Mikey, this is mine. (A first wife and early connection here)



And Frau Schwartzkopf lived next door to me at a time shift: EMI husband based in Hayes.

Also Frau Schwartzkopf was a raving Nazi like me.

"Favourite soprano"?
That'll open up a whole other can of würmer.

Schwartzkopf v Netrebko for "Im Chambre Séparée"

Just in the interests of political balance: Anna Netrebko is a raving Cossack ;o)
