music, music, music

The festival in memory of Sevorino Gazzelloni. Soprano Katia Ricciarelli wows the audience 

 
The baritone was Carmine Monaco and he was good. The soprano was fantastic, and there are many clips of her on Youtube. While the videos don't come close to catching the quality, the richness, the warmth of the voices, or the atmosphere of a summer concert, here is a selection for you. In this Katia is singing a lighthearted piece at Covent Garden with Placido Domingo.

Last night (of course) it was the tenor, Francesco Zingariello, who wowed me the most. Here they are singing together, on a different occasion, and here is the tenor singing beautifully on his own (sigh!)

Today I am grateful for free outdoor concerts of such wonderful quality.
