Loving it, Willard White, fabulous!! (And that's just speaking)

I was surprised to find that Janet Baker was still alive! It seems years and years since she retired from performing. I saw her do some wonderful concerts at the Festival Hall before I was married, usually with the equally wonderful Fischer Dieskau I don't think you can beat her singing Where Corals Lie - absolute perfection!

I have just finished watching last night's programme and Janet Baker's Dido ("When I am laid in earth") has reduced me to a snivelling wreck. What a voice, what beauty, what pathos! sniff!

Janet Baker is truly the best - no blooming vibrato and such an intelligent and thoughtful approach to her singing. It was strange to see her looking so old.

I am hooked on it. What am I going to do when it finishes. What power those Mezzo sopranos and Altos have.

Just been watching the mezzo sopranos. Wonderful Janet Baker (hope the neighbours didn't mind it at full blast!)

I'm only half way through this but it is soo interesting. I'm learning so much about singing - and all those wonderful voices!

I have been watching this series. Very good.
IMO they still can't beat Placido Domingo although I think he is now singing in a slightly lower register.

Still swooning -with a smile on my face

I'm watching it too. Isn,',t it glorious. I love opera.
