ReplyDeleteIf this can happen in the United States today, we are not in NEARLY as bad shape as too many would have us believe.
The conductor, Richard Sparks, deserves a great deal of credit, for he has taught the young choristers to sing not only with accuracy and vigorous enthusiasm, but also with great sensitivity to the MEANING of the text.
I just stumbled onto this terrific performance, and felt I had NO CHOICE but to share it with as many as I could.

As for the SOLOISTS, we could never hope to hear anyone better equipped to "deliver the goods" than these remarkable, well-trained, BEAUTIFUL young women.
ReplyDeleteThis Vivldi s so full of energy and elegance it's gownright EXHILARATING.
ReplyDeleteI'll never undrstand why most prefer to grouse, gripe, moan, groan, chastize, excoriate, castigate, mock, scorn, jeer, and condemn thatn CELEBRATE the ever-so-many GOOD THINGS in life.
Why hug a bushelful of hot potatoes to your naked chest, when you could just as esily take a rcool, efreshing dip in clear, pure mountain spring instead?
That's a SERIOUS question.
The fault, dear Antono, is not in your music but in an audience of apparent DOLTS.
