Kathleen Battle Update

Well, just when you thought there couldn't be any more on this particular subject, I beat the horse again.

I was poking around in Google and managed (in about 5 seconds) to find Ms. Battle's website, including a link to one of her most recent releases, "Classic Kathleen Battle: a portrait," found here: http://www.sonyclassical.com/music/89464/index.html And, in a strange coincidence, what should be playing on the website but her rendition of "O mio babbino caro." Despite the crappy quality of the feed, her high notes were everything I had hoped they wouls be. Her low notes seemed a little wonky for reasons I don't quite understand, but I would buy this in a heartbeat. Probably will, actually. But later. After the voice lessons. :)

That is all. Okay, maybe not all. I have a sin to lay on the goat. I bought the karaoke version of the song. I couldn't help myself, and I cringe in shame when it comes up on the playlist. I cring, but I can't make myself skip it. Sad, sad day.

Song of the moment: "The Lone Wild Bird."

Question to the gallery: If you could be any style of music, what would it be? Please note that this is not asking what kind of music you enjoy listening to, but what kind best personifies your desires/aspirations/values. Comment away.
