It’s smart to have something to fall back on in case the singing career doesn’t work out.
Is allready the best don’t need to start anything else
Don’t forget, he was already a lawyer when the music thing took off.
An impressive career! And that flute solo what a great surprise.
Well done!
Muy favorite , my LOVE, ❤️❤️❤️❤️
A masked, regularly tested and spaced orchestra (wind and perc using screens) is one that is taking care of its musicians.
In the United Kingdom, only the LSO is adhering to that principle.
With your keen interest in influencing the music world, Norman, perhaps you might like to turn your inquisitive gaze on the risks being taken by many British ensembles (no masks and no testing), and why exactly those risks are being taken. Who is “influencing” those decisions on behalf of musicians’ welfare, and why?
Why the resistance to take all “reasonable steps to protect employees”, as stipulated by health and safety law?
With the correct mitigations, the LSO enables a fuller ensemble spaced at 1.5m, thus employing more musicians per program in well ventilated spaces.
Which bodies are gambling with the welfare and future of British musicians by adopting fewer measures?
Masked and distanced orchestra is depressing and worthless. The risks to most are grossly exaggerated, and the manner in which orchestras have acquiesced to health bureaucrats telling them they can’t do their art is shameful.
As ridiculous a comment as your nom de plume. Who is suggesting “they can’t do their art? Your logic reminds me of those who said that too many lifeboats spoil the view for first class passengers on the Titanic.
Another COVID denier. Sad!
It is sad that some people seem to think that inserting that asinine word “denier” into a four word sentence amounts to an argument.
Sometimes facts hurt.
He was seen playing the guitar the other day. He’s very talented
Pity he is not such a good singer.
Bocelli is aa amazing talent.
He ‘d better apply himself to playing the flute. Because his voice is a scandalous ruin. It is noticeable especially in the operatic parts.
I’d like to be a scandalous ruin like Bocelli. I think my bank account could handle it.
Great tone on the flute!
His flute playing actually sounds quite good.
Beautiful ❤️❤️
The level of jealousy and vitriol among S.D. readers is just astonishing.
Lovely setting too, in Assisi
