"Glitter
and be gay!" Natalie Dessay.
“In
recovery”-- this is the third of these. You may ask, recovery
from what? I have had reconstructive surgery again, this time on my right hand, the
same kind that I had in January on my left.
This
entry is a great change, in that I have almost never presented any of
the music that is so much a part of my life. Here are two, very
similar arias, by the same extraordinary singer, Natalie Dessay. I
have been playing these over and over recently. First listen to
her “Glitter
and be gay" from Leonard Bernstein's Candide.
Then
listen to her sing Bernstein's inspiration, Zerbinetta's aria
“Großmächtige Prinzessin” from Ariadne
auf Naxos (my
favorite opera) which is #8
on this site.
I
don't know what happen to music videos internationally. Good luck.
