handelmania's Podcast

This podcast is designed for anyone who loves Opera and the great singers whose magnificent voices are beautifully on display. As a musician, words cannot adequately express just how grateful I am to have discovered this gem!

Thanks for bringing us this wonderful music. I may be falling for Mme. Gencer...

Thank you, thank you so much! How wonderfully generous is this contribution you have shared with us! Yes, I saw the video clip of her singing the Francesca excerpt; always a surprise and a very intriguing performer, now she has become a canonized opera saint! (almost). There was also a beautiful video of her singing "Ave Maria" in a choir loft, when she was a "young artist" in her mid-90s! Besides, it's more fun to listen to her and the other "muses of the 20th Century" from Ponselle and Muzio up to . . . play this one safe . . . Caballé and Stratas, than it is to practice! Auguroni, mille grazie, e grazie ancora.

the most entertaining, informative and general all around great opera podcast. Mr. Handelman's love and knowledge of opera is inspiring. He is a treasure who is sharing his treasures with the rest of us. Thank you Mr. H.
