If you like Sopranos, you'll like this lady

Last night I watched Dame Kiri Ti Kanawa on the box.

On the program I heard a soprano I had not heard sing before

So If you like opera you'll like this!

I was blown away by the sheer quality of her voice. I have always rated Elizabeth Schwarzkopf as the best... But now I am spoiled for choice!

Fantastic.

Hi.

Yes she is a real diva.

If you want to hear and watch her, she has the lead in two very highly rated Opera DVDs: Bellini's Il Puritani (DG 073 4421) and Massenet's Manon Lescaut (DG 073 4431). She gets rave reviews.

I actually though'd this was going to be about a wooden leg, as an uber obscure reference to Tony's cleaner with the wooden leg in The Sopranos.




I was very wrong.

Ummm Sorry Setch, but you have the advantage on me here! I must have missed that reference!
Sorry if I confused the isue though!

Bada Bing my friend but surely she was Polish so maybe the Finishing section.

 

[Setch]

I think she was Russian.


And we all know rushin' a project leads to past mistakes...

Excellent voice - 'O Mio Bambino Caro' is nearly as good as Callas, she gets a fair bit of airplay on classic FM
