One thing I love about Facebook is how people share music. And every once in a while, not often but sometimes, something hits you at the right time.
Like this link shared by my friend Tim Ecker. Tim loves the era of the 78s and the old singers. It is funny because he is only something like 22.
I think on this Web log we have discussed how what you listen to first thing in the morning can color your whole day. Jussi Bjorling singing Handel's "Ombra mai fu" sure lends dignity to Monday and to the work week.
It is so Largo!
Listen to the first syllable, how his voice grows. He just lets the word billow out.
It must have felt great.
Dear Jussi, one of my favorite tenors. He radiates such exhilaration!
And George Frederick Handel, the voice of an era when music was music.
Lending drama and dignity to this cloudy Monday.
