Thankfully, a change of topic.

My musical obsession at this moment is Jacqueline D'Pre and her marvelously seductive violancello. Again, another amazing female artist that I never had the chance to appreciate live. And her "Cello Sonata No.1 in Em" by Brahm never fails to send wave after wave of chills down my spine.

But to be honest, she's my second-choice of an obsession. I'm really searching for the songs and arias which the castrati sung during the baroque period. However... I've only come across one actual recording of a castrato which is of extremely poor quality. The castrato himself (Alessandro) isn't exactly the voice that swooned women from the past... yet his voice remains superior to the high female voice. What amazes me further is that all castrati do not sing with a warbly falsetto; allowing them the purest freedom of expression in singing while still attaining notes within the upper octaves of human range.

And yes, I'm taking a break from my art project at the moment. Besides, oil paints need to dry for a certain span of time, no?

(which is why I hate the damned things... but acrylic is so expensive...)
