DR elmore3003, do you know of this opera by CV Stanford? A recording has just been released.

I do not know this opera, but I do have several recordings of Victorian opera like Sullivan's Ivanhoe, Balfe's Falstaff, and MacFarren's Robin Hood. I think it's great these little-known operas are gewtting heard again.

My only plans for today are to get some laundry done

I actually have a ticket to go see a band play in the city tonight but I’m going to let it go.

I don’t have the energy and it seems a poor idea to expose myself to crowds or vice versa

DR John G, I'm happy you like the new Three Musketeers. Is it as good as Richard Lester's 2-parter? I have read three three translations of the novel, the first was the Lowell Blair translation in 1973 whiler I worked at the Jacobs Pillow Dance Festival, then I read the Penguin edition translated by Sudley around 1980 or 81. The Pevear translation - he did the celebrated Anna Karenina translation in the 1990s - came out in the late 1990s, and I read it as soon as it was published. I thnk I prefer it to the other two.

I have this vague memory that sometime between 1973 an d 1979 I read the Oxford World Classics edition as well. It's one of my favorite novels.

BK, I will be sending you something by We Transfer today.

No, Elmore. The new Musketeers movie is not as good as Lester’s film, IMO. But it’s enjoyable for the story and the sword play. I liked the King a lot. He’s vapid, arrogant and occasionally shrewd.

I think reading the subtitles may have affected my overall opinion.

Today at noon I have a session with my arranging student. I have no other plans for the day.

Well about 5 p.m. yesterday as I was sitting at the computer.....I began to feel a chill.....then I realized I also had a fever.

I took my temperature and it was 99.5.....so then I decided I should probably take one of those dreaded you know what tests.

And indeed it was POSITIVE.

My fever seems to have gone this morning, so I think that means I am not contagious or something like that.

But I am going back to bed.....

It has a darker palette. I did like that it largely wasn’t bloody, despite the violence. And the darkness helped in that regard.

Vibes for JRand.

Oh dang, JRand! Hope it’s a mild one.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #52 on:** March 09, 2024, 06:11:45 AM »

When I had my head cold last week, I had initially figured I'd take a test, just to be prudent... and then I let the time pass, recovered nicely, and forgot. So now we'll never know...

John G. · « **Reply #53 on:** March 09, 2024, 06:23:42 AM »

I think my back is starting to feel a little better after the weed-pulling (and back-tormenting) lawn work of the other day.
