Re: Probably my most frequent thought while on this site. Aeryn Send a noteboard - 31/01/2010 04:29:24 PM
That's been my general thoughts. It just makes me feel uncultured. I figure I ought to try it again, seeing as how it's been over a decade.

No, you shouldn't have to try. If it feels off, it probably is. There are some beautiful pieces without high notes. Also there's mezzo sopranos. Also, high notes can be incredible when done by a world-class singer live. I agree that in recording it sounds entirely different.

Check out the Flowers duet, when they start singing together:

(actually this particular clip isn't of great quality, try to find another one. Or maybe it's the laptop)

Addio del Passata from Traviata by Netrebko, maybe my favorite, so very sad:

That Traviata is probably my favorite also, although iv'e only seen it on DVD. It's perfect.

Short survey. On musicals. And what the hell, why not opera too. Ghavrel - 31/01/2010 06:24:44 AM 1155 Views
I suppose I will be narcissistic and respond to my own survey. Ghavrel - 31/01/2010 06:29:44 AM 836 Views
Heh. I figured "Little People" would get your tears flowing. LiterateDog - 31/01/2010 06:43:06 AM 731 Views
Yes, but for entirely different reasons. I confess to heartless relief when the child died. *NM* Ghavrel - 31/01/2010 06:49:31 AM 448 Views
Hehe, I was in Les Mis. I played that kid. Great Lord of Chaos - 31/01/2010 06:54:30 PM 816 Views
I think "because of" your role would be more accurate. *NM* Ghavrel - 31/01/2010 07:42:43 PM 423 Views

I hate when I switch quoting styles that it deletes my already-typed title. LiterateDog - 31/01/2010 06:39:37 AM 836 Views

How is it that you are picky about musicals?! Ghavrel - 31/01/2010 10:13:56 PM 839 Views
