Another Isokoski Strauss VLL

[Simon Roberts]

Anyone who cares at all about Strauss's VLL should proceed with all available
speed to operashare and download the video of Isokoski's stunning performance
with the Finnish RSO cond. Oramo. Her singing is exceptional, her style and
understanding of the music impeccable, her manner somewhat less cool than her
marvelous CD but still aptly elegant (she's nice to watch too). Add an
impressive orchestral contribution and very good sound and picture quality (far
too good to waste on your computer - burn a DVD and watch/listen properly) and
the result is, for me, as good a performance of this music as I've heard. (And
if you disagree, it will hardly have cost you anything.)

I really enjoyed her Strauss songs CD, but what is operashare? Is this a
group?

Darn. Another video. I seem to remember hearing several live Isokoski
VLL this past year on the radio, but I don't remember if this Oramo
performance was one of them.

This music fits her perfectly.

It's a yahoo group; essentially a posting board for links to downloadable audio
and video files via rapidshare (plus the occasional rival service). There's
more worth-while stuff posted there than I can imagine living long enough to
listen to.
