28 Jun 02 - 05:04 AM (#738735) Subject: Musical BS: Music and mice From: Escamillo Have just listened and seen on TV "A night of Opera" , a concert by the Berliner Philharmoniker conducted by James Levine, singing tenor Ben Heppner. I tuned late, so I saw some Wagner's and Strauss' songs and fragments, and the final clamorous Berliner Air. I feel like a mouse. A happy mouse full of music, after all. In 2000 I attended a concert in the Colón Opera House in Buenos Aires by the same orchestra, that time with Claudio Abbado, and that was one of the unforgettable moments of my life. The question is, can a mouse like me, still sing ? Can we assume our limitations, give our small and humble art the position it deserves ? Can we avoid presumptous concepts about ourselves, and offer the best of us with the best of our humbleness ? I guess we can. I just need someone who tells me to not shut up for the rest of my life :) Un abrazo - Andrés |

For me its not the voice thats behind it but the heart. If you sing a song from your heart that's a gift for us all. Unshamedly an old romantic |

" That's right, MMario, many times per day the music pushes to flow out, and perhaps that's what is keeping us alive. Thanks BlSmith, Steve, Joy, Sean ! Un abrazo - Andrés |
