The perfect Devil

... let's just say that the image of the humpty dumpty tenor singing still, full belly out... is just dead.












thank you barihunks.blogspot.com.

we just can't get enough of Erwin Schrott suave and mysterious voice. His version of the Berlioz aria "voici des roses" from the "Damnation of Faust" is devilishly beautiful.

So you see ? it's not just about the looks.

Dandy








We've been watching "Dragonwick" and "Leave her to Heaven" both with him and Gene Tierney quite recently, and let's just say that now we do like them dandy, racy and distinguished.
Too choosy ?




Dancing threesome



... Aznavour, Anna Karina and our dear Sami Frey, and the rest is just everything Nouvelle Vague...

so it's just one step on your left (and a step to the right), you know the rest.

Morrissey throws everything around Paris



...we never mind Mister Morrissey's marks of affection towards his audiance... nor his band mates... we just have one suggestion, as the poet used to say : "there is no such thing as love, there are only proofs of love"... we're gonna need MORE proofs !

BB's Grace...

....though her acting was always questionnnable, her beauty never was, the minutes she was on the screen, you could see her only.

here's to you Miss Bardot.

Leonora

...of course there are others... but She did defintely carve some roles into stones.... This one especially is especially wonderful, considering the story is just plain. But this character has so much nobility and her arias are so beautiful that it 's just nearly impossible to ignore them.

"Miserere" was played at Verdi's funeral.
