I love classical music, and I know the Countess likes it too. Maybe there are also lurkers who like it. 🙂

Anyway, maybe some will like to post classical music here (or listen to it).

You can post opera arias, piano recitals, orchestra concerts... - anything you like. Classical music is used in its broader meaning in this thread.

Please post links rather than embedding videos because sometimes the videos won't load.

Let's start...

Luciano Pavarotti - Una furtiva lacrima/lagrima (from L'Elisir d'Amore by Gaetano Donizetti)

I want to say that I've been watching/listening to this again just now, and am stirred anew by its grandeur.

It's a great version.

I feel as though I'm bathing in unicorn milk when I listen to this. Paul Agnew's voice in particular is beautifully delicious and strikes the heart, the soul, the ears, the mind... but all three are fabulous in this.
