 We begin our first "virtual broadcast" with appropriate music by Chopin, the 3rd movement from his Sonata for Piano No. 2. And we continue in a musical vein, because this week opera buffs and classical music lovers in the Spanish capital were treated to a wonderful performance at Madrid's National Auditorium of Haendel's opera Alcina, with acclaimed American mezzosoprano Joyce DiDonato singing the title role, accompanied by the English Concert, with Harry Bicket conducting from the harpsichord. We hear DiDonato sing the resolution aria from the opera's third act as well as bel canto arias from 19th-century Italian operas by Pacini and Rossini included on her latest album, "Stella di Napoli," released this year on Erato.
