Unique et originale sur scène, mais à l'écoute elle ne vaut pas la Sutherland (même époque). Enfin... je préfère les soprani romantiques (Mimi, Traviata, Marguerite) ou post-romantiques (Liu) aux héroïnes de Wagner, qui donnent envie d'envahir la Pologne. J'ai vu le Mefistofele de Boïto à Montréal en 2001. Intéressant. Très intéressant. You want it? You come and get it. Je préfère aussi la Callas à BS, mais elle avait tout de même une voix très dure.

Je n'ai hélas pas d'enregistrement du Mefistofele de Boito mais je demanderai autour de moi et je te ferai part du résultat de mes recherches. Si j'arrive à mettre la main dessus on trouvera bien une solution...:D Eh mais c’est déjà un bon début de préférer la Callas à Britney Spears, nous ne sommes pas si nombreux dans ce cas.

En revanche, puisqu'il semble que j'ai affaire à une opéramaniaque avertie, peut-être pourrais tu m'aider sur un petit truc: je cherche desespérément une bonne version du Mefistofele d'Arrigo Boito. J'en avais bien unenregistrement sur vinyl avec Monserrat Caballé... il n'est pas dans les cartons que j'avais laissé à Londres comme je le pensais... j'ai du le laisser à San Francisco ou je ne pourrai pas le récupérer avant le printemps prochain, et ça me rend très malheureux. Tu n'aurais pas ça sur un CD quelque part, par hasard? :D Kozlika Mais hélas, je ne sais pas si j’ai beaucoup à dire sur la Callas, si ce n’est que je préfère par rapport à Britney Spears…

Tu aurais dû ! Nous avons bavardé en tout début de soirée dans la partie haute du bar, tu te souviens ? Nous avons parlé du port du kimono et des préjugés sur les Japonais, sujets intéressants certes... Mais Norma !!!! Mais La Callas !!!! Je ne t'aurais plus lâché de la soirée ! :-) “ou les défauts de l’interprétation 1960 de la Norma de Bellini par Maria Callas (très inférieure à la version 1953 imho)”

Oh my god, you are sooo mistaken ! I was living on a boat in the Seine when it broke its banks at the end of 1999 after a enormous hurricane force storm hit Paris (it knocked one of the bells out of Notre Dame and flattened virtually all the trees in Versailles). It was terrifying and surreal, especially being on a boat in the Seine. I woke up the nest morning to the water level having risen and my boat being about 10 metres from the shore. The quai was totally underwater (as well as my mailbox... :( ). In fact, the water rose so fast that the boat was in danger of having the front of it trapped under the pont des concorde which joins place de concorde with the national assembly. Anyhow, I was moved downstreama little by a police tug and tied up. The river was very high and fast and we had to wait almost a day tilla makeshift wooden bridge thing could be contructed to allow us to get to shore (just try calling your boss and telling him you can't come to work because you can't get to shore !). The great thing was that the water level was so high the huge tourst boats, les bateaux mouche could not getunder the bridges so for the year 2000 the river was left to the inhabitants. My new boat neighbour and I had the most inbelievable party with too many friends and got to watch the millenium fireworks from probably the best vantage point in the city. So, maybe you just need to hang around Paris a while longer. Trust me, there is always something interesting going on there... :) What *are* you doing in Paris anyway ? I still haven't quite figured that out from your blog posts. Dave !
