Vissi d’arte (from Tosca)

Postby torben » 02 Dec 2018 08:02

Hi

This song represents the ultimate challenge - at least to me.

It is a famous aria from the opera Tosca, by Puccini. Sung by all the best sopranos in the world. And here by my friend Laura - with me at the Genos...

A dream comes true.

Hi Torben,

Laura certainly has a wonderful voice. And your accompaniment was just perfect. Sounds like you had a full orchestra with you. You make a good duo! Loved it!

Dear Hugh, Fred and John

Thank you so much for your very kind reviews!

I am very happy to see that there are keyboardplayers who still appreciate this kind of music - and the efforts to reproduce it...

Best greetings

Torben
