no $ ... I'm busy collecting operas atm so anything extra goes to CDs
If you're a fan of classical music (especially the opera genre), we can probably talk about our collection
Used to be my fav list:
1. Magic flute - Mozart
2. Marriage of the figaro - ..
3. Don giovanni - ..
4. La clamenza di tito - ..
5. Idomeneo - ..
6. Die fledermaus - Strauss II
7. La bohame - Puccinni
8. sadko - Korsakov
9. Tsar's sultan - Korsakov
10. Abduction of Seraglio - Mozart
Lately Don giovanni's just been moved to #2 - After having this in my collection for > 4 years, I started listening to it again and realized how beautiful it is. It's as close to a perfect opera as one can get. If not because of the wonderful night queen's aria of magic flute ([link]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Der_Hoelle_Rache.ogg[/link]), Don giovanni should be #1.
P.S. The soprano in the music clip from wiki is tearing up the whole aria into bits and pieces... The singing's just horrible, yuck!
I'm almost done with the Mozart's complete collection - 3/17 vols to go
Next goal would be all of Tchaikovsky's works.. remember Swan Lake?
