Classical Duets For the Morning

For the connoisseurs ...

Leo Delibes - Lakmé: Duo des fleurs (Flower Duet)

George

Soprano Sabine Devieilhe’s signature operatic role, Lakmé, forms the starting point for her enticing album Mirages. A collection of operas and songs in French, its theme is the exotic allure of faraway – and imagined – places and people. In addition to three numbers from Delibes’ opera, it features music by Berlioz, Debussy, and Stravinsky and some rarer names: Thomas, Messager, Koechlin, and Delage. Devieilhe is joined by mezzo-soprano Marianne Crebassa, pianist Alexandre Tharaud and the period-instrument orchestra Les Siècles under its founder, François-Xavier Roth.(Personally, I do not see the benefit of period instrumentation for 19th-century music. Stupid really.)

George Bizet - Au fond du temple saint (From opera "The Pearl Fishers)

Nadir (Matthew Polenzani) unexpectedly returns to the pearl fishers' community after years of adventures. Once alone with his close friend Zurga (Mariusz Kwiecień), the two recall their last trip together: in Candi, they saw a beautiful woman at the temple of Brahma. They both fell in love with her at first sight, but they swore to forget her for the sake of their friendship. They now swear again to remain friends.

I Got Rhythm

Wednesday Wistfulness

I finished my reports from yesterday this morning. Decided to have a quiet day and relax, so I popped into town and had some lunch at my local. I knew the weather was going to be variable today, and as I am meeting Phil for drinks later, I did not feel like venturing out to do some jobs.

As always, when I came back from town, the curtain twitchers spied me. I knew they were looking. They are always so nosy and always twitching, so I did an abstract quick sketch. I am going to post it up on the community board. Just for the fun of course. You devil you may say.



They are also to be the first to take anything given for free on the table in the community room. Hardly give anybody else a chance. They know who they are, Jean and her neighbour next door.

I detest busybodies like them.
