Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Puccini and at the moment I’m listening to Turandot with Franco Correli as Calaf. When he sings Nessun Dorma my soul takes flight!! No musical genre moves me like opera. What’s yours?
 
It depends on my mood. Right now I’m listening to a lot of Andean music (Sukay, Inti-Illimani, Urubamba). It’s very happy bouncy traditional music. I love Celtic music of all stripes. I adore Renaissance and Baroque (You haven’t lived until you’ve heard/seen Monteverdi’s “Vespers of the BVM” with Dolby 5.1 sound) {John Gardiner, Monteverdi Choir, authentic instruments [love that theorbo - a lute type instrument on steroids] AND filmed at San Marco’s in Venice}. When I sit at my calligraphy table, it’s Gregorian chant and sacred polyphony.
 
At this particular moment…Alan Jackson “It’s Five O’clock Somewhere”
 
I like rock, blues, classical. Right now I’m listening to Jackson Browne.

Lots of Puccini here, too. I’m in the chorus of the Spokane Opera’s production of La Bohème. So when I’m not singing Puccini, I’m listening to the principals singing Puccini, and when I’m at home I’m listening to Puccini :rotfl:

In the short periods of time when I’m not singing/hearing Puccini I’ve been listening to Bach, a bit of Benjamin Britten, and LOTS of Chant. lol.
 
Gonna be checking out a Melissa Etheridge dvd concert later today. Love her rocker voice. Reminds of Janis Joplin.
 
Right now I’m listening to Vladimar Ashkenazy’s rendition of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 24 in C minor. 🙂
