It's a pleasure to hear Pavarotti again, almost having forgotten him, and
listening to this makes me realize just how good he was.

I remember jumping on the trampoline - at our home in Korea - when I was
a kid listening to con te partiro on the loop ;D

Girls of the Golden West by John Adams (also conducting) on Nonesuch
075597900484. This is the third (2023) iteration of the opera, much
leaner and meaner than the first (2017) version, at the price of cutting
what was probably the most successful number in 2017, the ballet scene
Lola Montez Does the Spider Dance which can be found on a recent Naxos
release conducted by the dedicatee Marin Alsop. As usual with Adams (at
least what I happened to hear) about one third of the piece is quite
intriguing and the rest is a bit, well, meh. The possible exception is
Shaker Loops in his early (pre-Nixon-in-China) minimalist days, a truly
remarkable suite.
