What are you listening to?

What are you listening to? Recently on National Public Radio I heard "Nessun Dorma," from Puccini's Turandot, sung by Luciano Pavarotti.

English translation:

No man will sleep! No man will sleep!
No man will sleep! No man will sleep!
You too, o Princess,
in your virginal room,
watch the stars
trembling with love and hope!

But my secret lies hidden within me,
no one shall discover my name!
Oh no, I will reveal it only on your lips
when daylight shines forth!
And my kiss shall break
the silence that makes you mine!

Nobody will discover my name
And we shall have to die, alas! Die!

Depart, o night! Set, you stars!
Set, you stars! At dawn I shall win!
I shall win!



In Italian:

Nessun dorma!
Nessun dorma!
Tu pure, o Principe,
Nella tua fredda stanza guardi le stelle,
Che tremano d'amore e di speranza!

Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me,
Il nome mio nessun saprà!
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò,
Quando la luce splenderà!

Ed il mio bacio scioglierà.
Il silenzio che ti fa mio!

[Choir:]
Il nome suo nessun saprà!
E noi dovrem ahimè morir, morir!

Dilegua o notte!
Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle!
All' alba vincerò!
Vincerò! Vincerò!

 

Ave Marie performed by Opera Babes

 

prelude in c sharp minor - rachmaninov

fantabulous, dark, intimidating...

 

Right now silence, but I was listening to Mozart's 'Symphony of the Toys'(?) which was 'neat-o'...and then I heard some Tschaikovshy which, rock god of the classical scene that he is, or was, I really dug. I think it was sleeping beauty or something less famous than Nutcracker and Marche Slave. or that 1826 cannons booming thing.

Nothing fancy, or pretentious.

And you?
