    I don't think a voice like Charlotte Church's can do Rossini real justice. Here is a performer who can (Juan Diego Florez)

    Prosperity is the blessing of the Old Testament; adversity is the blessing of the New; which carrieth the greater benediction, and the clearer revelation of God's favour.
    Francis Bacon, "Of Adversity"

    Can I add my favorite from Rossini? This gets truly glorious further in.

    I love the Lord, because He has heard my voice and my supplications.
    Because He has inclined His ear to me, therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.

    Her recording of Il Barbiere with Plácido Domingo is not to be missed. By the way, the picture of her in the gold dress is actually from Semele.

    Here are two of the world's great singers enjoying singing Rossini.



    I suppose neither of them needs any introduction. But the first time I heard Cecilia Bartoli gracefully roar sciotto! tu ridi was one of the highlights of my life.

    And this is my favorite Kathleen Battle and Rossini combination. From Il Signor Bruschino. In my estimation, no one could have done this better.



    4:22-24 is Kathleen Battle's finest moment.

    They do seem to be enjoying themselves, despite the music—that sounds like an extremely hard piece to sing!

    That gala concert must have been quite something. While the selections can be enjoyed on the CD entitled Cecilia and Bryn, seeing the video does add something. I think almost all of it is on Youtube, including the best La Ci Darem la Mano I have ever heard.

    And Cecilia Bartoli, demonstrating that she is the successor of Isabella Colbran, and then some.

    The last one for tonight! Something a little different, but still Cecilia Bartoli.
