He gave her Christ, she gave him sex - and it killed her.
Listen ALEXANDRIA “Voilà donc la terrible cité” (Alain Fondary) + MIRROR “Ah, je suis seule… Dis-moi que je suis belle” (Leontyne Price) = DEATH “Te souvient-il du lumineux voyage” (Beverly Sills, Sherrill Milnes)

I missed yesterday’s posting, which doesn’t bode well for the remaining 150-or-so voices. Still, I’ve got an excuse. I got caught in the rain yesterday. I don’t mean Sunday’s thunderstorms either. You see, while it was raining outside, I was ‘Right As The Rain’ inside. I was spellbound the entire day by Leontyne so rare that it was simply unheard of —by me, anyway. Thanks to L’Ultimo Leontyne Fanatico for posting these audio-only clips to YouTube. I also commend the work he put into presentation. I know how time-consuming and tedious such extra effort can be, and since feedback is minimal, it may seem that all that trouble is neither noticed nor appreciated. Well, it is noticed and it is appreciated. Little things really do mean a lot — unless you’re a size queen, of course. But I digress.
One post, two days, two voices, one soprano — and well worth the delay, indeed!
“Love Walked In”, by George Gershwin. Andre Previn, piano. Leontyne Price, soprano.
“It’s Good To Have You Near Again”, composed by Andre Previn, played by Andre Previn, lyrics by … Dory Previn, or rather, the then-Mrs Previn …the 2nd one (outta five, so far –Andre needs just three more to earn his Bluebeard boyscout patch); sung flawlessly of course by Leontyne Price, the not-never-Mrs. Previn (oh, but Leontyne, there’s still time)
Aaaaah Leontyne, it is good to have you near again - as near as my nearest iTunes
