Thank you very much, Steve; I have no immediate plans to shuffle off the mortal coil so hope to do a bit more - but my aim, of course, is to convert non-believers to loving the music I love...

My love for classical music began in the late 60's and I'm also a fan of Ralph's reviews, even if I'm not always a fan of the music he's reviewing. He has a way with words that reminds me of Harold C. Schoenberg and Andrew Porter. His recent look at Rattle's Mahler 10ths is a good case in point. Like many of us, I'm sure, I look forward to enjoying Ralph's work for many years to come! Previous Message
50+ year opera fanatic here. I need ALL Mr. Moore’s thoughts and recommendations in a book I can deface with my scribbles and highlights and then leave to my children to add their own vandalism. Do you know what I mean? Mr. Moore has opened my ears to hidden treasures…. I am listening to the Bergonzi/Tebaldi Verdi Giovanna d’Arco as we speak….I didn’t think the Caballe/Domingo recording could be topped…but….among other things, its the first time I got a thrilling rush from Tebaldi (as much as I admire her singing)... this has never happened before. EVERY voice is absolute perfection!! Wowie. Thank you and much respect to all of you.
