Hey Terrence--
I'm a grad student in Italian studies, and I just wanted to let you know that Michelangelo's last name (buonarroti) sounds like "bwoh-na-roh-ti," and the s in casa makes a z sound, "caza."
While we're on the subject, the z in san marzano also makes a "ts" sound, like "mozart."
grazie del programma, mi piace tanto!
It's 9:37 and I'm listening to you over the internet. This is a pretty cool piece! I'm guessing it's the Britten "A Boy Was Born"? Lovely choir sound as well!
Let's do a whole show on dobro music.
I like the Beethoven and the partitas and the bach and anything sweet and clear isolated piano stuff but the far out stuff the headache inducing stuff is way too far out.
