March 19, 2023 -- An important lecture from Victor Davis Hanson on Gen. Patton
Dmitri Hvorostovsky Rodrigo's death scene, Verdi's Don Carlo V. Gergiev, conductor This towering artist was taken from us much too soon, but, thankfully, we do have his recordings and videos, don't we?
Dmitri with Sumi Jo, from Verdi's Rigoletto Part of thee third act duet between Rigoletto and daughter Gilda -- followed by Dmitri with Luciano in a duet from La Forza del Destino |
Here Dmitri sings Puccini Tosca, Scarpia's aria ending the first act.
Maestro Dudamel, in London, 2011 This link to the finale of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 2, performed by the Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuelam conducted by Gustavo Dudamel, at the Royal Albert Hall, BBC Proms, 2011, appeared previously at LPR. But to let New Yorkers know what they have in store for then when Maestro Dudamel takes up artistic and musical director responsibilities at the New York Philharmonic a few years from now, LPR thought to reprise this fantastic performance which might well be equaled, but not likely to be surpassed. Soloists: Miah Persson, in gray gown; Anna Larson in red gown, teary-eyed at conclusion, and National Youth Choir of Great Britain -- and wheren't they all wonderful? |
