Sir Roger in Love With More Beautiful Women
Sir Roger is maxed out for superlatives after Barbara Bonney (and the amazing Kathleen Kim‘s Olympia) but here are two sopranos worth listening to:
Martina Serafin
- Heut noch wird Ich Ehefrau (Franz Lehar)
- Meine Lippen Sie küssen so Heiß (My lips kiss with such fire)
As someone said, “This here is high octane!!” What a voice! What a range! What energy!
[If you would like to compare Anna Netrebko's BBC Proms version it's here. She has a purer top note and is great fun.]
Miah Persson
- Kyrie from Mozart’s Mass in C Minor – Nobel Prize concert
- Mass in C minor, Et incarnatus est
and if you want a conversation with someone who actually knows about opera and singing and world travel, and has probably been to all those places you keep saying “I must go there some day” about, well, you could have a chat with the Wanderer.

Thanks for the nod, Sir R., very kind. If you are thinking about Antarctica, and if not why not, I have nothing but enormous praise for Aurora, till very recently owned and managed by Margaret and Greg Mortimer, the first Australian to do Everest.
