I get to comment on my own blog.<BR/><BR/>"maybe it's not the brightest idea to write an opera that is two and a half hours of almost uninterrupted parlando recitative narration..."<BR/><BR/>You're going to kill me, but that's what I feel like whenever I listen to Poppea.<BR/><BR/>And yes, your reaction to stump is like my reaction to the line of recit in The Creation that ends on the word "nostrils." Were there no red pens back then?<BR/><BR/>"Four parts of the day" etc sounds like the lead-up to one of those Gershwin songs you only find on really complete recordings.<BR/><BR/>You wanted Alice Goodman but got Peter Sellars? Well, always remember the old DaPonte trio and cut him a little slack.Maury D'annatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136129943169313348noreply@blogger.com
