Thursday, August 31, 2006. Beautiful singing by Laura Polverelli:. Amor, hai vinto. Ecco il mio seno. Da tuo bel stral trafitto. Or chi sostieni. L'alma mia dal dolore abbandonata!

Sunday, July 30, 2006. Listening to the recording of Bach's. By a wonderful group of musicians under the direction of Jordi Savall. This is a collection of fugues and canons on the "Royal Theme" given to Bach by Frederick the Great. According to James Gaines in. Evening in the Palace of Reason. If this is so then it is remarkable that such wonderful music should have come from such an unpropitious origin. What a genius Bach was! Posted by Tony at 7:17 PM. Saturday, July 29, 2006.

They cried - "La belle dame sans merci. Hath thee in thrall! Posted by Tony at 8:14 PM. Listening to Janet Baker. Fain would I love. I think it was the first I'd heard...
