Tosca (1900) was arguably Puccini's first foray into verismo, the realistic depiction of many facets of real life including violence. The opera is generally considered of major importance in the history of opera because of its many significant features.
Enriched by her strong Greek-American heritage, she was honored to sing the Verdi Requiem, at the foot of Acropolis, at Greece's week-long remembrance of Maria Callas broadcast on Greek National Television.
This Opera has never been produced in the U.S.A. although it is a first rate comic piece. The main character can be thought of as female counterpart to Don Quixote in that she has similar delusions, specifically, that in her Garden she can preside as Armida, a major romantic character of Tasso.

This should be an expanding album. A bit could be written about every one of Schubert's 800 songs. For now let us just note that "Die Forelle" is the basis of the great "Trout Quintet". The singable English translation by R.E.C. is a deveiation from the norm Artsconverge pres...

Great, that i now know from who this wonderfull piece came from. I heard it once in the movie "Brügge sehn und Sterben?!" (Original-Title: In Bruges). Wonderfull movie - really recommandable. In one scene they play the organ grinder. I was fascinated and looked for it.. And now i found it. Really great peace.

Winterreise (Winter Journey) is a cycle of 24 poems by Wilhelm Müller, best known as the song cycle set for voice and piano by Franz Schubert (D. 911, published as Op. 89 in 1827). It is the second of Schubert's two great song cycles on Müller's poems, the earlier being Die schöne Müllerin (D. 795, Op. 25, 1823). Both were originally written for tenor voice but are frequently transposed to suit other vocal ranges - the precedent casino virtuel being established by Schubert himself. These two works, in their scale, their dramatic coherence and power, their musical and literary unity, and their interpretative demands, stand in a league of their own within the song-cycle genre. Indeed, although Ludwig van Beethoven's cycle An die ferne Geliebte (To the distant beloved) had been published earlier, in 1816, Schubert's two cycles hold the foremost place in the history of the genre.
