Dave Herwitz reviewed the soundtrack to The Lion in Winter a great film. The soundtrack was written by John Barry, it's been obscured by another soundtrack he composed.

It warms my cynical heart that this humble thread should be considered among the year's best. We have to thank Bohemian Artist for that, he's been long gone.

Mozart's Requiem is a messy work. He couldn't help it, he was near death when he wrote it...that part of Amadeus is factual. However the Lacrimosa (Tearful) hymn is everywhere.

Lacrimosa lyrics

Mournful that day.
When from the ashes shall rise
a guilty man to be judged.
Lord, have mercy on him.
Gentle Lord Jesus,
grant them eternal rest.
Amen

Qua resurget ex favilla
Judicandus homo reus.
Huic ergo parce, Deus:
Pie Jesu Domine,
Dona eis requiem.
Amen.

Yes... I love the classics! Beethoven, Mozart, Debussy, Handel, Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi, Bach... etc. Not a big fan of Stravinsky though, he was a little dissonant for my taste.

The first time Mrs. CG and I "did it" (almost 21 years ago now) was to Dvorak's Symphony no 9 "From The New World". I have a rather extensive collection actually...

I played Trombone in high School and NO, I never did anything "creative" with it! LOL!
Listen to classic FM all the time

Getting women moist.

You have to be a stud to sing opera. Jonas Kaufmann and Dmitri Hvorostovsky tell Rocco Siffredi to go get his shoe box.

I"ve never heard of Jonas Kaufmann, but he's nowhere at the calibre of Hvorostovsky's voice.
There's something about the quality of Kaufmann's voice that is a bit off.

Unfortunately Hvorostovsky is no longer with us. (1962 - 2017)

Kaufmann started his career as a helgentenor, putting the wow factor in his performances both at Bayreuth and The Met. Then he switched course into Italian. Normally a very difficult transition, he had the advantage of being from Munich. With it's large Italian population he would have been exposed to Italian singing at a very young age. His documentary on his journey through Italy is still aired on TLN.

It worked for him.
