I am too full of Lehar..... lately!

[Haffner]

I am too full of Lehar..... lately!

Wheeeeee!

[karlhenning]

Lehar . . . wasn't that the 'reconstructed' four-LP Zappa album? 

[George]

There are far worse things to be full of, buddy. 

[Harry]

A few more, geez, I getting the hang of it, I think
Other operettas composers..........and no, not Lehar this time....
Recordings from 1966 and 1971

[Haffner]

There are far worse things to be full of, buddy. 

But, ah...far better as well, such as invoking the spirit of Tina Turner: actually channeling into the image of one bad, mama-jamm-er-ing Hootchy Goddess Mama of Scrubbed Shylock County, Missouri.

Come on back now, y'hear?

[Harry]

Wheeeeee!

This is one of the best things that walked into my life, I like sopranos but with lots of coloratura....
What a relief......

Forgive me, Harry, I was being extremely silly.

I have purchased Herbert Von Karajan-led Tristan und Isolde today and will be playing it in the next ten seconds or sooner. I am expecting to hear heart wounding beauty, wide-ranging and passionate...proto-Mahler. From having heard the clips, I know I will not be disappointed.

I'll keep you posted on the inestimable Wagner, dear friend.

In yesterday's mail:

Tchaikovsky Sym. 6/Jarvi/Telarc SACD.
Dvorak Cello Concerto/Wispelwey/Fischer/Channel Classics SACD.

[Harry]

Three of the most beautiful coloratura sopranos, recordings from 1951-1967, the oldest I bought so far.

Erika Koth, makes me almost swoon, with Anneliese a good second.....

All three sing operetta melodies from different composers.....

[Harry]

And yes she does well in this repertoire too.....
