ViVa Vivaldi indeed. Sunday afternoon here, enlivened by this talented team.
ReplyDeleteAh, Sue, how lovely you enjoyed.
DeleteA "Garden of Harmony" – the ensemble's name is fitting, eh?
Will watch later. Vivaldi's vocal works to me are absolutely astounding.
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will be delighted, Mark.
DeleteAmazing what a fine pair of lungs and astonishingly controlled larynx can do. I cannot really comprehend how they manage such wonders. My set can only cough and talk nonsense.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Whenever I started to sing lullabies for the children, Lady C. would ask why I wouldn't try it for good first? The sweet little darlings insisted, though. They could not fall asleep before they had heard "What shall we do with the drunken sailor?"
