Amoeba Run: Silver Lining and Ruby Slippers
Maybe LA isn't so bad after all.
Sr. A-, a musician of significant skill as well as my gracious host and companion for the weekend, had ne'er been to an Amoeba of any persuasion. This I deemed a travesty that needed to be rectified.
We had a mere 1/2 hour to spend, en croute as we were from the Griddle Cafe to Disney Hall. Jessica, you will be pleased to know that at Amoeba one can acquire an entire library of Korngold discs in under 30 minutes. As for me, $37 yielded:
Jessye Norman, Les nuits d'été / Shéhérazade
New York Voices, Sing! Sing! Sing!
Vivica Genaux, Bel Canto Arias
Perfect Harmony: The Vocal Ensembles
and...
Driving down Sunset Blvd. with the top down in a red Porsche singing The Man that (sic) Got Away along with Judy Garland—can there be any more appropriate lead-in to two hours of Steve Reich?
Sweetie darling, darling Sweetie.
You will inevitably watch the DVD portion of the Biondi Bajazet, and it's truly a treat on several levels. That's all I'll say. Really. Watch. With friends.
