I adore these conversations with Sir Antonio who speaks with such warmth and enthusiasm , in an intimate manner as if he is having a private conversation with each one of us . This conversation is enhanced by the beautiful serene girl interviewer .

Maestro Pappano interview. Great one. Only few words but says a lot about conditions of vocalists nowadays. I wish I could be there and listen whole conversation...

Genius, and he comes over as such a lovely person.

I thought about watching 10 minutes on two different days. Maestro Pappano is compelling. I watched all 20 minutes. Related topic: as someone in the United States, I noted the polticians discussing culture and the future. England has many great writers. Robert Macfarlane writes vividly about the earth, and I'm reminded of a logo I saw: E ART H.

Looking more foward to seeing his talk on Szymanovski's music though this one is still great

17:18 - what's the third opera he mentions?
I don't understand what he says. Othello, Tristan, and...?

Werther, written by Jules Massenet
