Hello,
This is the tenth edition of my classical music series and I'm really enjoying this as I think classical always appears to the non-classical fans as though it's a generation or two from dying out, but it never really is or will, in my opinion. There are too many people taking the baton forward even going so far as to reimagine popular tunes in a classical way.
Today, I'm going to look at one of my favourite opera's; Bizet's Carmen. From it I'm going to take a highlighter to Bryn Terfel, somebody that I only really got into last year, yet has been around for a few years now...
Toreador
First off, let's have a listen to it: -
It's always evocative of a time when I used to drive to work in my old Seat Ibiza, for it was during some of those journeys that I truly tapped into my love for classical music via Classic FM (which readers of The Write Dimension will know that I've been a fan of for quite some time). I remember the countless traffic jams that were eased through listening to this station when I wanted a change from my own music.
Sometimes, it just evokes memories of a time long-lost forgotten, as well as a time that, without which, would mean that I'm not here today listening to what I am listening to.
Until next time...
