Not sure if I like the idea of a tie-in with a novel by an American bestseller writer, but that’s beside, here is a mezzo that eats counter-tenors for breakfast*

Will this make it to CD Review?

..she can sing the phone book and i would still faint

Donna Leon is a great thriller writer, i urge you to try her out if you have not already ...

Donna Leon doesn't just write very good detective novels, she also finances (and sometimes works with) Il Complesso Barocco - so that's a double claim on our gratitude

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

did not know that, how truly splendid!

seeing her sing live is extremely high on my(and just as importantly Mrs TS's) list of things I want to do, and in a money almost no object kind of way... but it never seems to happen, and although I am on her website mailing list thing, I never seem to get concert alerts.
I need to change my approach to this issue.
Still, I am getting to see Jason and the Scorchers this Sunday after a 30 year wait...so good things come to those who wait...coincidentally one of Jason's song titles !!
Any hints on getting tix for Cecilia gratefully received !! I am saving up in the meantime.
