Here's another gorgeous piece - the
"Flower duet" from Lakme

Two more great voices, and the recording almost as old as I am. Tebaldi and Björling, both going for the top. And I love the, "Brace yourself, Rodney" 39 secs in.

I found this earlier on YouTube. Ecstasy. If anyone wants to listen, click up to the 720p. Still not great, but OK, considering the original recording was made in 1969.

If that last post is not an orgasm in music, I don't know what is.

But I'm not posting any more music clips. Here are some nice pictures of Salzburg.

(With a totally blissful duet in the background.)

So I bought the 2 CD set. That lovely duet is not typical, but it is a powerful opera.

In the finale, Paul (the tenor) strangles Marietta (the soprano). But, he sings "the big tune" again at the very end, so that is OK.

Opera? Well.......

No particular reason for posting this but it is the most marvellous performance. If it doesn't move you call an undertaker.

Oh, yes. Stunning. I wonder when it was recorded. Late eighties?

Just been through this thread. Sad that a couple of vids are no longer available, but I still think YouTube is a wonderful resource.
