In a week, at about this hour, Rolando's recital in Athens will be over.
I don't know if he's going to sing us any Greek songs but what I know is that I will have a huge smile on my face...
Instead of a countdown, during the 7 days left till the Recital, I will be uploading 1 video everyday. 7 videos of Rolando Villazón in New York, singing Greek music...And Granada at the end as an encore...
Let's begin with...
"Me tin proti stagona tis vrohis"
Music: Manos Hadjidakis
Poetry: Odysseas Elytis (1979 Nobel Prize in Literature)

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, PARSIFAL! ENJOY THIS WEEK WAITING ROLANDO!
Nice preparation ;-) In spite of the distorsions ;-)) i still like how his voice plies nicely over the long lines, it captures his tone at best. Happy waiting ;-)
Parsifal - I just cannot resist the temptation to make you nervous (malicious grin inserted): RV cancelled his Lenski in Berlin yesterday due to a throat infection...
Apparently he appeared before he audience to excuse himself and didn´t look like he would be sick for more than a couple of days, according to friends present in Belin.
