HEre is a rather unusual performance of Der Holle Rache.

I tried to play them at the same time in two separate windoows to see if I could synch them, but they were a few milliseconds off. Sounded like they were singing in a round, LOL. Back to the debate – people have resorted to name calling, which is not my style. Both performances are magic. UNfortunately I haven’t been able to find the video of “Wie Stark, etc” I wanted to show you. Oh well. WIll keep looking.

Bartoli and Fleming.

WHat is your proper email? That way we can write without the whole world seeing what we write.

I started listening to MAnsfield PArk from Librivox last night, and chapters 3 and 4 (I think) are cut short. I know you do editing and stuff, so you might want to look into that.

A DVD of Magic Flute is a good idea — that would surely have the dialogue included. Now to find one performed entirely in German, well-conducted, well-sung, with good sets and costumes…

It is also my favorite scene from the Shawshank Redemption…

Amazon.com has a plethora of recordings of Die Zauberflote, and gives you the ability to listen to samples of each recording. It’s a pretty good system. I wish for things like that that I lived in the US, because books and CDS are so much more expensive here than they are there. (If you hadn’t guessed I am an American in Perth)

Not right off hand, but there are a lot of good DVD ones available on Ebay, (and cheap) and I will go for that LONG before I go for anymore CDs of Opera.

My Uncle lives in Mission San Luis Rey off El Camino Real at MIssion St. We stayed at Best Western on Mission over New Years 2004-2005.

My wife and I saw a production in English here in Perth last November.

(Listening to PRide and PRejudice a lot and soon to send in a recording of Man from Snowy River.)
