interesting how one’s mood changes – i wasn’t going to listen to this today – but hearing tips that Ruth Ann was in good voice and then seeing that Ramon Vargas was singing – hmmm, its actually just what the Dr ordered (oops!) and has helped raise my spirits after a long week of dealing with no hot water, a broken lyre on the piano and returning to work in the gloom of a winter January in the northeast . 

count on Donizetti to bring sunny laughter and joy into the cold of winter!  Brava et tutti!
