Obscure Opera Week.
Apr. 21st, 2008 09:06 pmOr, opera less well known...:)
My latest discovery:
(do not be afraid and listen to the music, guys... I promise it's worth it).
I have a 99p-for-75-downloads deal going on eMusic, all thanks to Photobucket... There is this new thing called TrialPay where you subscribe to one of the services advertised and get a Pro account for free (which I was prepared to pay for anyway, because of the size/storage limitations).
So - have downloaded four albums so far, one of which was the original soundtrack for Amadeus (which is my all time ever favourite film. Had been trying to buy the soundtrack for years).
One of the tracks was the above aria from Zaide - Mozart never finished the opera, he went off writing other stuff, and it was found by his wife after his death.
Found the opera on eMusic, and I am in love...:)
