On website: KUSC.ORG 24 hours every day listen to classical. Mozart in morning and Friday night 9-10 opera moments. Saturday morning is opera performances from around world. Just an FYI to you to enjoy an aria or two. Carmen is one most beloved operas.
Thanks for this, Joyce. I have always been a Rocker. However, I appreciate great singing voices. My daughter studied voice for a while. I sat in on some of her lessons and gained an appreciation for singing as an art. Now, I can be moved by vocals regardless of genre. Nessun Dorma by Pavarotti is second to none.
What a lovely experience! The way you describe your mind as a labyrinthine space with hidden rooms is so vivid. It sounds like yesterday's conversation unlocked a door that led you to a beautiful memory of Browning's sonnet.
And Pavarotti for dinner prep sounds like a perfect plan! Enjoy your meal and the music.
". . . when feeling out of sight /For the ends of being and ideal grace." I love those lines. Thanks for reminding me of a poem I haven't read in ages.
Love the musical discussion going on here, Joyce, and your poem, which set it off. From Puccini's Turandot (Nessun Dorma). Thank you once again, @Rene Volpi).
To Bach and Mozart. They are all wonderful and Iove each for a particular mood. I want to add another. Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto 2. Pick your pianist.
Isn’t it beautiful how we can go from one thing to another merely by discussing things? You are right, Perry. Tchaikovsky is also one of the great, I think I’ve got a record of a symphony by him. There are so many, Schubert, Händel, Purcell.
The very early Madrigals, the Mary Vespers by Monteverdi etc.
Yes, I think it's wonderful. There are so many musical greats and performances that we can talk about, but I have to eat lunch now, a late lunch and Arya also needs my attention. :).🕊
Oh my, I do ‘envy’ you that you’ve seen Turandot performed at the theatre. I do love opera, in particular Italian opera, and there are so many beautiful arias. 💙🙏

Oh thank you, Richard. I love Italian operas in particular, must see if I can get it on my phone (no laptop right now). 💙
Enjoy.

Thank you, Rod. Oh that’s lovely that your daughter has studied voice. Did she do more in music or just voice?
I’m an opera fan though mainly Italian opera. And it does make a difference who is performing. Well, at least to me.
Luuuuuv iit!
Thank you, Nicholas 💙🙏💫
So happy that you enjoyed it. Thank you for all the kind words, Joyce! ❤️
Aaahhhh! Your post is like a beautiful bouquet of spring flowers! Thanks!

Thank you so much for your kind comments, Ayesha. Staying in Italian spheres, my dinner consisted of Minestrone soup with Focaccina 😋
Perfect with Pavarotti’s arias.
Beautiful post. We also appreciate that the cats get to have their dinner first in the proper order of things.:)
But of course! They always come first 😻

Well, it was quite a while ago for me, but then it just popped up. Thank you, Deborah 💙🙏💫

Enjoy your lunch, Arya too 💙🙏🦜
To each a symphony composed.
Try Mozart.
Hmmm, not really my choice. But the Italian Baroque masters, or Monteverdi are more in my line.
I am listening to Bach on my phone at present. Tune in.
Beautiful but I really need to cook something. However, I’ve got Bach’s double concerto and the Chaconne on my phone, so I’ll put the first on now.
Lovely that you mention Bach, my absolute favourite 💙
Love this Joyce! One of my all time favorite poems!
Oh my, Pamela, thank you so much. 💙🙏💫
So true, and that makes it so interesting coming across other views and interests. Otherwise it would be such a bland and boring thing 💙
