Agnes Baltsa is about to give a recital on the 26th of March in Athens next to Angelo Simo (yes, this is the "international" name of Vangelis Hadjisimos) whom i do not really appreciate. I have seen him live many times but i can only remember 2 times when i really liked him: In Ballo in Maschera about 14 years ago in Athens and as Peter Grimes a couple of years ago. Anyway, i would go to listen to Agnes even if she was singing next to Florence Foster Jenkins (!!!).
