We've been given two tickets to see Ludovic Einaudi in Cardiff. I wasn't going to go but after reading up on him I'm going to have a look. Apparently he scored the music for This Is England and Dr Zhivago.

I've just had another look and it wasn't Dr Zhivago the movies it was the mini series whatever the f*ck that was.

There is a snob value in classical where there shouldn't .
Witness the serious faces on university challenge over classical whereas with popular there is simply distain .
Opera was the music of the people and all the great arias pop songs of the day
O solo Mia an example
Let's keep it nice
O sole mio would be a better example of an operatic aria turned into a popular song if it was actually from an opera of course rather than being just a popular song which happens to be in Italian

I recently learned Ludovic's "Nightbook" on the old ivories, he has some nice compositions.
I often attend opera, but not a buff by any means. Its the one type of music that brings me out in goosebumps, or brings tears to my eyes. Nothing else gets close.

I'm like that when the wife pulls out the strap on.
Au contraire the lovely lisa has somewhat scored an own goal.
Arias from operas were essentially created by the likes of Puccini and Verdi in particular for the "people" so essentially pop music of the day, which was my point.
Hair splitting has started early today I note
It might be messy here on Sunday evening.
We re off tonight to sample the culinary delights of Crosby.
