We may not be "compat...Ahhhh, you managed dear Rauf<br />We may not be "compatible" - net wise, that is :)<br /><br />Well, it sort of crept up on me this opera thin, just like classical music. I used to hate as a result of being my mother's steady diet and the only sound allowed in the house.<br />However, there is some totally sublime music in the genre... and I literally go to pieces.<br />I shall share with you some titles.<br /><br />Yes, passions tend to be obsessive - I think/feel<br /><br />I shoulf check out the debate on your blog. Date?<br /><br />"Should we allow the artiste's personal life to affect our appreciation of their art" - you ask?<br />Hmmmm... we shouldn't, but I must admit I have/I am. Particularly in films. It is actually quiet irrational, to think of it – one thing has nothing to do with the other.<br />Can’t stand looking at three major male mega stars – whose manes don’t come tomind right now – puff - and will leave it there.<br />For instance, also in music, I simply cannot look at Liza Minelli, but I can listen to her, the same goes for the young jazz singer Diana Krall, I burst out laughing!!! She does not mean to be funny – not at all!<br /><br />I adore Andrea, and his duets are marvelous, despite liking his Romanza version with Sarah the obtuse translation really bugs me - they are not saying good-by in the original, Spanish (or any other language?) That is the most beautiful part of the song and it is "con te partiro" I will go/leave with you... OH, IT BUGS ME SO!<br />I also like Josh and some of Il Divo.<br />She did nicely with Luna<br />How about The Three Tenors – Domingo, Pavarotti, Carreras? They are actually responsible for it al; once I saw their 1994 Caracalla Concert, I felt that if there was ONE concert I would of want to attend in my lifetime, it would have been that one! It was pure magic, still think so.<br /><br />This slow change also somewhat coincides with the advent of hip-hop and rap, plus I just can’t handle “electronic” sounds very well – there aren’t many options left in our continent other than state radio…. Almost the only “sane place” to escape. Can’t listen to oldies forever. And whining and whaling kills me.<br /><br />Today, as I was cataloguing and sorting paintings and all related stuff, I listened to Il Divo, North American Native flute and, a couple of really, really cool Middle Eastern, North African CD’s, from my belly dancing class times – sheer heaven! Along with it, got invitation to contort and shimmy too! J<br /><br />Lots of love and hugs to you tooAlicia M B Ballard StudioGaleriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330807567104236747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13618489.post-20102870464053700712007-01-22T16:34:00.000-08:002007-01-22T16:34:00.000-08:00third attempt :

...third attempt :<br /><br />Hi Angeldust, hope you are fine.<br />Still haven't develped a taste for the opera. Sarah brightman is how far I go, a bit of Angela Stone, I like the voice of Andrea Bocceli, josh Groban.<br /><br />Don't know much about Maria Callas.<br />Watched a BBC documentary on her. Onasis connection who I think abandoned her. The impression I got was that she asked for trouble being obsessive about something. We all are in a way. I wrote about this subject in my blog a while ago. Should we allow the artiste's personal life to affect our appreciation of their art. It does to me. It turned out to be a good debate with good contribution from my readers.<br />I posted the comment a couple of times but it said your request can't be processed.<br />Lots of love and Hugs Angeldust, please stay warm.raufhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14069291890495563749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13618489.post-27086144544593227382007-01-22T16:25:00.001-08:002007-01-22T16:25:00.001-08:00my comment just disappearedmy comment just disappearedraufhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14069291890495563749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13618489.post-47176041122554557662007-01-22T16:25:00.000-08:002007-01-22T16:25:00.000-08:00testtestraufhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14069291890495563749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13618489.post-7650523119605748362007-01-22T11:37:00.001-08:002007-01-22T11:37:00.001-08:00PS.: Q

This does not happen "to regular folk".<br />She gave all of herself to her craft and Aristolte Socrates Onassis - ay chihuahua!<br />He was a handfull, and must have been brilliant too - in his own way, to go from landing with a dollar (or was it a peso?) in his pocket at the Port of Buenos Aires, then starting a fishing fleet to becoming a shipping magnate...<br />There must have been "SOME fuel" between them, probably one of those intense true "soulmate" situations, where the guy, thinking like the basic guy -that he still somewhere is - moves on "on a deal"...<br />Somehow it backfires for him, THIS, this IS too much for her to take (and for some of us to watch!)<br /><br />Still, I think that she managed "to be to live, to live to be"....<br /><br />You know, it is not quiet the lenght of ones life that really matters, it is the quality and intensity that makes it worth living. For some - the experience not need to go on and on, as much has been learned and lived and, it is just enough!Alicia M B Ballard StudioGaleriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330807567104236747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13618489.post-43732082591206854192007-01-22T11:21:00.000-08:002007-01-22T11:21:00.000-08:00Dear PAuline -
