Mozart: Bassoon Concerto (complete) in B-flat major K 191, Aligi Voltan ...
This has never been more beautifully played, I think; nor has the bassoonist who plays it ever been more comely. Or downright cute. But of course Aligi Voltan, diplomato a pieni voti presso del Conservatorio di Venezia, e dal 1999 primo fagotto dell'Orchestra di Padova e di Veneto (anche di molte altre orchestra), does not even think about his smashing Italian good looks when he plays Mozart and Vivaldi--just about keeping his double reed wet (but not too wet) and supple (but not flaccid).
I burn hot. I tend to exhaust people in conversation, like Margaret Fuller did Carlyle. Which leaves me (but apparently not Margaret) always wishing I'd shut up sooner. I have quite a few friends and not many enemies, but I'm very proud of the few I do have. There is consensus among my friends about me, which is how I know to write about myself. What my enemies think of me I have no idea. That, of course, could be dangerous.
The list of interests and favorites is absurdly partial and half-assed, particularly as to music and books. It's the stupid format of the blog itself, as given, that, of course, I color outside the lines and burst the seams of.
