didonato's lessons for life


toscanini...leading rehearsal of traviata

for the last three days, i've been listening in the car to this cd i recently picked up at a library sale
it's shot up...to one of my all-time favorites

here's the first track -- 'coro di zingarelle'


it's such a delight...hearing the maestro...sing...hum...feel...cajole his way...through the piece, as he leads the orchestra -- the nbc symphony orchestra, in 1946 -- makes the masterpiece, so much more thrilling -- makes it soar...even more -- enhances my appreciation...many fold

here's 'di sprezzo degno' -- may not be...from the same cd -- doesn't match, exactly, the tracks on my cd
