... or the Dance of the Desiccated Grapes!
yeah, it was real dissapointing.

Not a bad request from a Trumpet Player

[lioness]

I just requested the finale of act 1 of The Mikado. :crossed fingers: I think it's some of the best of the best of Gilbert & Sullivan.

[ScottB]

Sorry OT I couldnt find it, I am striking out with your requests so far.

i'm finding i have this insatiable pleasure for the sounds of the harpsichord. i can't get enough of it. can anyone suggest some works?

[Selma in Sandy Eggo]

I have a suggestion. A friend of mine, a retired schoolbus driver, built one. From a kit. Said adjusting the quills was the hardest part.

Does this sound like a new hobby you'd enjoy? After you build, you learn to play it. During the build, and after, your hands are far too busy for other addictions.

Alternately, I suppose you could go to Amazon and search on "harpsichord" in "Classical Music" and see what comes up...

[OperaTenor]

Hi Scott,

Thanks for trying. I guess I need to ship b.com a copy of The Mikado.

Here are my suggestions:

Baroque Masterpieces
An Evening of Baroque
The Very Best of Baroque
Baroque for Baby
Baroque BBQ
Best of Baroque Vol. I
Best of Baroque Vol. II
Best of Baroque Vol. V (III, sir!)
B-B-Baroque!
Baroquing Record
The Most Relaxing Baroque Music Album in the World...EVER!
Polka Baroque Style!

Hey! That Monty Python reference made me realize something! OperaTenor! I knew I recognized you from somewhere!

:p

[ScottB]

That may not be a bad idea.

[OperaTenor]

Hi Scott,

I've done that before. That's why I knew you had that version of Bethena I requested the other day.

I think that's one thing we as listeners have to realize. In the genre of our choice, there are tons of different renditions of the same work, and it's totally unrealistic to expect b,com to have our particular favorite at their fingertips. If I really want them to play a certain something that bad, I'll send 'em a cd to make sure they have it. That way I get to impose my tastes on the rest of the listening audience while I'm at it.



PS. Whenever I talked with folks about that opera(Lohengrin), I'd tell them our costumes looked like something out of MPSFTHG. That's fantastic!

[hal 9000]

Sure thing OT, but I'll have to redo it. If I simply blow that image up it will lose quality.

Look for a larger image sometime tomorrow evening.

[OperaTenor]

Thank you. I tried in vain to blow it up myself.

That is too cool!

[hal 9000]

Scott- Thanks for playing my request for Schubert's birthday and for your kind words afterwards. They were greatly appreciated!

[ScottB]

Your very welcome.
