Tuesday's Earworm...
...is the gorgeous Ileana Cotrubas singing O Dieu Brahma from Act 1 of Bizet's Les Pecheurs de Perles. Ever since I witnessed her performance of Mimi in the eternal John Copley ROH La Boheme, broadcast here in the early 80's, I've been a great admirer of La Cotrubas' work.
Famous worldwide for her performances of Mimi, Susanna, Pamina, Micaela, and Violetta, I thought however, this stunning Invocation by Bizet, from her studio recording with EMI is perfect as birthday tribute listening.
