Wow.
Dunno why, but this interview with Joyce DiDonato had me in tears about her work bringing classical music to young and more diverse communities.
This is what music should be. Engaging. Human.
Just amazing.

Richard Strauss -- Morgen -- Joyce DiDonato

Late romanticism at its richest and most fulfilling can be found in some of the works of Richard Strauss. This song is one of my favourites of his.
Oh goodness but Joyce DiDonato's's album "Eden" is thing of beauty and joy. Her voice is extraordinary, the various songs/lieder so incredibly well-chosen. Just stunning. <3 #ClassicalMusic #JoyceDiDonato #Eden #music
Quite excited to hear Tod Machover's operatic take on Richard Powers' Overstory with Joyce DiDonato and Sejong Soloists

OK, making one exception to my usual rules here and bringing some content over from the birdsite, as this does not exist elsewhere for now, and this short snippet from the new #opera by Kevin Puts, "The Hours", now on at the Met, sounds *really* promising! It will be streamed in #cinemas worldwide on December 10th with the wonderful #mezzosoprano #JoyceDiDonato 
, legendary #soprano Renée Fleming, and #conductor Yannick Nézet-hereSéguin!
