What's the name of the album? Is it Amici Forever? Who are the tenor and the baritone who do the duet?
Thanks
Julia

Yes Amici Forever. the Album is "The Opera Band"
In the Pearls Fishers, David Habbin is the Tenor and Nick Garrett is the baritone.
Garrett can also sing bass and is a wonderful counterbalance to the tenor and soprano voices in the other songs on the album.

Go to your bedroom late at night, turn the lights off, and play Metallica's "The Unforgiven".
Shut your eyes and listen to James Hetfield growl "the old man then prepares - to die regretfully,
that old man there is me". That's powerful.
Come on lovers of rock - can't let Julia and Wayne have all the fun.
justjohn said:Julia Here is another one to send chills down the spine, Slashes (GUNS N ROSES) solo in Sweet Child Of Mine.Heard it in the car yesterday , does it to me all the time.Hope this also helps to broaden your listening base. :

Had a listen to the above today. If I'd not heard the Placido Domingo version I would have liked it very much. However, apart from the quality of the tenor, the whole production of this duet comes in second to the Domingo version. I'm not being picky here, but if you like what you've heard on this album, try to find the Domingo version (I'm currently emailing Classic FM to try to find the name of the album) and you will enjoy it even more.

If you are for real - good on you for giving it a go. The Metallica "Black" album you purchased is in my opinion the best of their career. I'm pleased you like it.
Yes there is a definite primal rawness that consumes the listener. The relentless drums, tight bass and lead guitar work together with the gruff vocals culminate in one of the best Heavy Rock albums of the 90's. Some great songs "Nothing Else Matters" and "Enter Sandman".

wayneL said:Well, how could one not enjoy Placido's work. Have not heard his version, but please let me know the album if you find out.
Have you heard Il Divos first album? Nella Fantasia does it for me on that one.
Cheers
Julia said:Gidday Wayne,
Will certainly let you know if I find out from Classic FM. Sometimes they have archived stuff that's no longer commercially available.
Il Divos: No, can you tell me some more about this?

Julia said:Hello Duckman
Umm, why wouldn't I be "for real" as you put it? Is it because you think anyone who likes classical music and the occasional bit of opera couldn't possibly like rock? Or is it because you think anyone over the age of 20 loses the capacity to be interested in a different kind of listening experience?
The Metallica CD is getting repetitive playing - I think it's terrific so thanks again for the suggestion.
Cheers
Julia
Duckman#72 said:Sorry for doubting Julia - not everyone is so open minded that's all.
Glad you're enjoying it!!!

So that was YOU at The Nitey last time I was up in Gero. Respect!wayneL said:... and I play a pretty mean "air guitar" LOL
cashcow said:Hmmm, looks like we're all into broadening our horizons. Glad to hear
If anyone's interested in something that's quite an acquired taste, I recommend a band called Dream Theater. They're most commonly labeled as "progressive rock" but there are elements of metal, power ballads, the theatric (hence the name), and more than a smattering of classical training.
As I said, it's not for everyone, but if you like it, you'll *really* like itPersonally I find their later stuff (from about the mid 90's onward) better than the earlier.
Interested to hear others' opinions.
Cheers
