^^I have a Huge collection of Classical Iggy, and I love it all. I've even started to "dabble" in opera, only Wagner though. if I spoke Italian that would make it a lot easier.

Vegemite...that is ghastly stuff...:nw:

LOVE Rossini, maybe one of my favourite opera composers, his music is so full of humour and high spirits, but also he can be touchingly beautiful, like in those amazing sacred music settings like the Petite Masse and Messa di Gloria. That's an amazing clip there, that could definately catch on, if only Cozy Powell was still around to give us his take on Beethoven's 5th!!!

Na, I meant TM opened it with the posting, I think a lot of classical
music buffs don't want the music 'messed with' so to speak.
I could listen to that for ages, with a nice cuppa tea and Marmite
on toast.

^^I think it's great when contemporary artists take chances with old classical music and I can almost guarantee that the old composers would be smiling along with everyone else listening to it Iggy.:D
