An excellent event~
Mar. 31st, 2009 10:44 amSunday afternoon, I went to a marvelous concert! Countertenor David Daniels with the English Concert under the direction of Harry Bicket. The first half was Bach, the second half Handel. I have heard Daniels in performance at Lyric Opera on more than one occasion, but this was the first time I had heard him in recital.
Oddly enough, my sister saw him a couple of days earlier in San Francisco. Someone had given her a ticket, which turned out to be a front row seat. She told me two of the violinists were flirting with each other. I couldn't see that from Row P. Not that I'm complaining about Row P, mind! Particularly as mine was a half-price ticket. (Should your city be on Goldstar, I highly recommend signing up.)
I picked up Daniels' CD, Sento Amor, music by Mozart, Gluck and Handel, and, as a result, "Che farò senza Euridice?" from Orfeo ed Euridice has been running through my head all day. But if you are going to have an earworm, it's not a bad one to have!
-------------------
I am headed to Cleveland tomorrow to visit my sister. She has planned an action-packed few days! The impetus for the visit (other than to see her) is the exhibit, Kimono As Art: The Landscapes of Itchiku Kubota, at the Canton Museum of Art, but there's a lot of other stuff to do. I'll drive back on Monday, so I may be too tired to go to my Italian class, but I'm taking my homework with me!
