This is another piece from Carmina Burana written for a soprano which in this video is Lucia Popp.
This lady could sing a bit and she is peerless in this version although the video is not all that good. Sadly she died at a very young age and robbed us all of her voice.
Fortunately she has left behind a lot to cherish.
Short, but to savour.
Enjoy.

Lovely song, lovely woman 
I’m sure you’ll have a great time!
This is another from Michael Hoppe from his 1997 album. The Poet: Romances For Cello.
don’t listen to much music, have star treck on audio at the moment the original story I think
A real oldie from the 40s group, the Mills Brothers Glow worm.
What a lineup there Ron, even Mr Zimmerman looked up for it.
Brilliant post.
I enjoy Hoppe’s music , I had never heard of him until you bought him to my attention Hammer
I am glad that you like the music Meg.
I think the best album I have is Afterglow.
He often collaborates with a lot of musicians and Afterglow is no different.
These two, Martin Tillmann and Tim Wheater are no strangers.
This particular track is very special given the date tomorrow.
This is beautiful Hammer 
I will be saving that one on PC .
While I am in a sad contemplative mood, listening to…
[B]‘White Night’ [/B]
by Ludovico Einaudi.
Watching Vintage TV - The 1950’s…only recognise some of the songs though, the videos are interesting.
Tom Waits - Make it Rain
Whilst in Paphos there was a music festival and the Czech Opera company were performing Jacque Offenbach’s “Tales of Hoffman” in the open air at the castle at the end of Paphos. The hotel were able to obtain a seat at the opera for me and I had a truly magnificent evening. This is the famous aria from that opera: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u0M4CMq7uI
As ever of a morn, listening to “Vanessa” on BBC Radio London.
Don’t know why I do it… I find the show eternally infuriating !
Then don’t do it Johnny matey, that’s being masochistic!!! - might I recommend Classic FM - a much better selection of music!!!
A real oldie, the anti-war Arlo Guthrie’s Alice’s Restaurant … I’d forgotten how funny it is!
Beethoven’s 5th, as I sit reconciling accounts in the office.
