Tosca

Tosca

I'm sure he has more than one, otherwise it won't be needing 2 CDs to record. Either I remember it wrong, or you remembered it wrong... I probably remember the names wrong, well.

Can't help it even if I wanted to. I am doomed for life now.

I'm certain there's only one - there's is also the scottish fantasia for violin andd orchetra which as I said is crap.

Nice, i would've liked to see Nabuco there, the "Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves" would blow your head off.

Tosca is good. Pitty, I lost the the 1st CD

Soon you will even laugh at my jokes about Japanese weaponry!

now i'm not a verdi fan but that's a cool opera (and not just because of the sexy cor anglais solo - lol, I guess i'm the only one who thinks it's sexy). The hebrew slaves chorus is pretty cool.

I have it. I could make a copy... ooo..... UMS...

Bruch got 3 violin concertos. I was right, it said on the CD, 1, 2 and 3. G Minor, D minor and D minor.

I got it from local library, made a CD image of it (2 images of course). Then my computer crashed, lost a few CD images.

lol, you're right. I just dug out the vinyl and I have all three too but i've never listened to them all.

Hey priya, how's your italian going? Here's a challenge for you to translate.

Madamina!
Il catalogo e questo,
Delle belle, che ano il padron mio!
Un catalogo egli e ch'ho fatto io:
Osservate, leggete con me! observe, read with with me
In Italia seicento e quaranta, in italy 640(640 what?)
In Alemangana suecento tret'una; in germany? duecent trent'una?(231)
Cento in Francia, in Turchia novant'una, 100 in france, 91 in turkey
Ma, ma in Ispagna, son gia mille e tre! but, but in spain, it is already 1003
V'han fra queste contadine. between these famers/labourers (dunno what v'han means, it's a dialectal thing i think)
Cameriere cittadine; waiters of small cities?
V'han Contesse, Baronesse, baronesses
Marchesane, Principesse, princesses
Ev'han donne d'ogni grado,
D'ogni forma d'ogni eta.
Nella bionda, egli ha l'usanza
Di lodar la gentilezza,-
Nella bruna la costanza,
Nella bianca la dolcezza!
Vuol d'inverno la grassotta
Vuol d'estate la magrotta;
E la grande, maestosa;
La piccina, ognoe vezzosa. should that be picina?
Delle vecchie fa conquista
Per piacer di porle in lista:
Sua passion predominante her passion/desire dominates/is dominant
E la giovin principiante giovane? meaning youthful..she's young and naive?
Non si picca, se sia ricca- not at her prime, whether she is rich?
Se sia brutta, se sia bella! whether she be ugly, whether she be beautiful
Purche porti la gonnella,
Voi sapete quel che fa! you talk about what to do?

Too many quotes about music and operas

Vinyl, haven't even seen a vinyl in ages. Wow, what a nostalgia trip.
