Our son John the opera singer sent us three recordings he made recently at the University of South Carolina. I think they’re the best he’s ever recorded.
They are:
- “Feldeinsamkeit,” by Brahms
- “Ah! per sempre io ti perdei,” from Bellini’s I Puritani
- “Lieben, hassen,” from Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos
