One Track or Album per Week, Number 10: Puccini – Madame Butterfly.

One Track or Album per Week, Number 10: Puccini - Madame Butterfly.

I was already a fan of classical music – at least a secret one – when I was young. However, every month I had to decide whether to invest my pocket money in current music or in classical music. Well, you may guess three times what the outcome was. When I started to study, I could give in to my enthusiasm more often. After watching the lovely romantic movie “Zimmer mit Aussicht” (Room with a View, 1985!), it was clear to me what investment I would make shortly after: Madame Butterfly by Puccini. Here we are. An ancient CD. What I love about Italian operas? The lively, sparkling sound; like a Prosecco. Quite the opposite to the operas of Wagner. Those have never been my cup of tea. Have fun listening:
