ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, Anna's aria O mio babbino caro is cut.
Thanks Violeta! This is an excellent link, with a nice video and plenty of HR photos. So, the host said that Anna sang "O mio babbino caro"? As far as I know, the press only reported that Anna sang "Cäcilie"
ReplyDeleteYes, thank you V. Carlos, I just found your blog and wanted to thank you as well. This is a great devotional to my new favorite soprano.
