    The two best female opera singers of the current time, Elina Garanca from Latvia, mezzo-soprano, and Anna Netrebko from Russia, soprano, sing the wonderful Barcarolle from Offenbach's The Tales of Hoffmann in a recording session (this is why everybody is wearing street clothes) with the excellent Orchestra Prague Philarmonia.

    This is the absolute most beautiful video clip featuring the same Elina Garanca above. She is a goddess. Here singing Mon Coeur S'ouvre à Ta Voix from Samson et Dalila, the opera by Saint-Saëns. Elina has incredibly precise technique, and is oh so beautiful!

    This is one of the most beautiful moments in all of opera: Verdi's Va Pensiero (Fly, Thoughts), from the opera Nabucco. There is a fabulous story about how Verdi got to compose this, and it almost became the Italian Anthem at one point. Anyway, it's a long story. But this particular video clip is very emotional because Maestro Riccardo Muti stopped everything and talked to the public about the loss of Italian culture and what it represents for the nation to have its cultural inheritance squandered. This speech became very famous, and then the maestro asked the chorus to do an encore, and invited the public to sing along. Beautiful! If you speak Italian (or can understand the subtitles in French) you'll love his speech.

    Switching to Latin Jazz, this is clip has a touching story behind it. The older gentleman is a famous pianist who fled Cuba and was a refugee in Sweden for most of his life. His baby son stayed behind. The son grew up and became a pianist too. Producers organized this encounter, where father and son played together for the first time (and met for the first time in decades).

    That's my favorite song off The Guitar Trio and it's a John McGlaughlin composition.

    More Paco!

    It's funny, as a kid growing up this was all I knew about Ella Fitzgerald:



    It wasn't till I got older that I was able to appreciate what a wonderful artist she was. What a voice! :angel:

    Thanks. I love it too, but if I'm not mistaken, it's by Al di Meola. It's name is Mediterranean Sundance. Here it is, in the original album:



    Beautiful! I was very sad when Paco prematurely passed away. Before he died I had the privilege of attending in person one of his shows also featuring Al di Meola and John McLaughlin. I also once attended a solo show with Al di Meola.

    My folks listened to WJR Detroit in the early 1950s, and I got a solid re-introduction on the WUOM Ann Arbor station carrying Hazen Schumacher's internationally-respected "Jazz Revisited." It's been awhile but the series was still in syndication after Hazen's death. Maybe the University of Oklahoma but I'm not sure.

    Okay. My #1 pick for the lady with the soul. From the Ed Sullivan TV show.
