First week of school and we already had an audition for the Operas: Mozart's Schauspieldirektor and Rossini's Il Signor Bruschino. 2 of my students were chosen! We finished the recording of the Joseph Weigl (1766-1846) cd on Sunday and it is in the bag! Exciting that this music is for the Esterházy Festival.
Today is a very cold day - 10 at least wth a light snow, so I will not go out too much.

I arrived back in Starnberg, Germany to beautiful weather. We have fixed a wonderful vegan meal and the entire family is gathered. This is gonna be a lazy day although I have sung through my Margaret Lang solos for the upcoming CD "From the Heart of Me" : Alistair MacAlistair, The Night of the Star and The Hawthorn Tree. All are so beautiful. Tonight we are watching DVD of The 12 Chairs...

A nice day being with Jaz and Kayla...and then teaching a lesson. Nice hearing a great Heldentenor: Taynard Blampied. Continued to work on the Margaret Lang music. I heard a tenor who had a great sucess at the Ring but I do not understand this voice. He sounds like a boy soprano: light, vibratoless, no steel in the voice, not real support or middle voice and then he had a great success. Is it the coming wave of tenors?
