Strauss - Voices of Spring- Battle, Karajan

That is a great recording by Kathleen Battle. My best friend’s parents went to the Cincinnati conservatory of music at the same time Battle was studying there and were able to hear many of her performances before she became famous. It is my understanding that she was actually fired by the Metropolitan Opera because she had too much of a diva’s personality . . . even for an opera company.

From my own alma moter comes another famous African American soprano, Barbara Hendricks. Strangely enough, she did not study music at school. She received her degree in chemistry. Unfortunately, I have not had the pleasure of hearing her perform live, as she is mostly retired now from music and is/was largely working as a Human Rights Ambassador for the U.N.

My romantic side loves Piano Sonata No. 14 in C♯ minor "Quasi una fantasia", op. 27, No. 2, by Ludwig van Beethoven. While my gothic side is always happy to hear Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565, by Johann Sebastian Bach.
