The Carmen duel - Baltsa vs Berganza
It used to be so easy. I just loved Agnes Baltsa as Carmen, but now I am starting to really listening to Teresa Berganza... I love her, I mean both...
Then it was Don José who was always Carreras for me. But with Teresa Berganza Plácido Domingo is just wonderful as Don José.
It is Deutsche Grammophon against itself. Carmen with Baltsa, Carreras, Ricciarelli and van Dam, or Carmen with Berganza, Domingo, Contrubas and Milnes.
In the edition with Teresa Berganza and Plácido Domingo you got two singers in excellent form and the singers are doing their own dialogue which is a plus. Especially since the dialogue does tell so much about who this Carmen is.
Unfortunately Karajan never trusted Agnes Baltsa and José Carreras (etc.) to do their own dialogue so the dialogue Carmen is a vulgar woman but Baltsa's Carmen is nothing like that. The dialogue Don José has no backbone which Carreras' Don José certainly has.
My dream Carmen would be Baltsa, Carreras, Ricciarelli and Ruggero Raimondi. Or Berganza, Domingo, Ricciarelli and Ruggero Raimondi. Or Berganza, Carreras, Ricciarelli and Ruggero Raimondi. Or Baltsa, Domingo, Ricciarelli and Ruggero Raimondi. (with the singers doing their own dialogue)

Zarzuela: La Chulapona
I loved LA CHULAPONA by Federico Moreno Torroba when I saw it in Edinburgh in 1989. Naturally I did not understand much since I don't speak Spanish. But the music was wonderful, I loved it so much.
I have been wanted the whole zarzuela on CD since I heard Teresa Berganza sing Como soy chulapona on LP. There is nothing quite like it, to hear Teresa Berganza sing zarzuela.
LP: Teresa Berganza singt Zarzuela (some of the best zarzuela arias by the best singer)
EL ULTIMO ROMANTICO - Lucimos hoy todas las mujeres 4:07 Teresa Berganza 1 Soutullo, Reveriano (1880 - 1932) y Vert, Juan (1890 - 1931)
LOS CLAVELES - Que te importa que no venga 3:42 Teresa Berganza 2 Serrano, José (1873 - 1941) 1994
EL ANILLO DE HIERRO - Pasion del alma mia 5:29 Teresa Berganza 3 Marqués, Miguel (1843 - 1918) 2011
CLAVELITOS - Clavelitos 1:45 Teresa Berganza 4 Valverde Sanjuán, Joaquin (1875 – 1918)
LAS HIJAS DE ZEBEDEO - Carceleras 4:39 Teresa Berganza 5 Chapí, Ruperto (1851 - 1909) 1988
LA CHULAPONA - Como soy Chulapona 2:58 Teresa Berganza, Pilar Lorengar 6 Moreno Torroba, Federico (1891 - 1982) 1994

LA TEMPRANICA - Sierra de Granada 8:26 Teresa Berganza 10 Zarzuela Giménez, Gerónimo (1854 - 1923) 2011
But then I found a shop on the internet: fnac.es and then I could buy LA CHULAPONA with Teresa Berganza, Pilar Lorengar and Carlos Fagoaga as the protagonists.

Today: Birthday of Ramon Vargas etc.
Ramón Vargas (born 11 September 1960) is an award-winning Mexican operatic tenor. Since his debut in the early '90s, he has developed to become one of the most acclaimed tenors of the 21st century. Known for his most expressive and agile lyric tenor voice, he is especially successful in the bel canto repertoire. (Wikipedia)

Lies, damned lies, and history
The Untainted History of...
Does it exist? Untainted, unbias history does it exist?
Can a human be unbiased? Can we go outside our experiences and then go into other people realities and see it clearly as it is? Without our experiences can we be humans, and truly alive?
I would be interesting in reading the Untainted History of Colonization and of the Discovery of America. So I have these two apps on my Ipad but I have not started to read it because I started to think about the Untainted History. Of course they don't have the headline Untainted but they are described as such. Are they untainted by science, by other people's views. Would those people who participated in the Colonization / Discovery of America be absolutely truthful and not try to make themselves and others like them look good, is that even possible? Unless one understand your taint, your bias, you would never work to counter them.
Is it possible to go around in our lives and see people and not imagine knowing something about them? We would have to work hard then to be ever present in our head to stop any ungrounded belief. Ex: A person do not smile to us. What happens? We imagine a history about that person and why the person doesn't smile to us. Usually something negative. We humans are simply better at making negative stories. Positive stories are much harder work.
I love Historical Novels. I hate Historical Novels. If the author has done a great job in getting the Historical background as right as it is humanely possible, then I LOVE it. I love History made easy to remember. But only if it contains truth. I hate it when I have loved a story and it has imprinted itself in my brains only to be Lies, damned lies, and "history".

Lucia di Lammermoor, by Gaetano Donizetti
I have seen this opera 3 times live.
First in Oslo (1989) with Elizabeth Norberg-Schulz as Lucia, and Knut Skram as Enrico. Then in 2000 in Vienna with Edita Gruberova as Lucia. In 2002 in Vienna with Stefania Bonfadelli. The veteran soprano Gruberova seemed to be younger as Lucia compared to the young soprano Stefania Bonfadelli. Stage magic!!
I am currently reading the original story by Sir Walter Scott. But the action in Bride of Lammermoor is so slow... It is slowly, finally getting some sense of maybe the story will go and get some action. We do not live in the age of infinite patience.
I have the DVD with Marcelo Alvarez as Edgardo and Stefania Bonfadelli as Lucia.
