Rufus Wainwright recommended Don Carlos by Verdi in Music (curated)

 
Don Carlos by Verdi
Don Carlos by Verdi
1967 | Vocal

Album Favorite

"I came across this early on in my operatic journey, and to this day it remains one of my favourite recordings and one of my favourite operas. The wonderful thing about Verdi is that, as you get older, it starts to make more and more sense: these fraught relationships between fathers and sons and lovers and friends. He's so profound in his understanding of human relationships. This opera, Don Carlos, is in my opinion a great masterpiece on a Shakespearian level in its defining, most notably, of the father and son dynamic. There's actually a moment when the father contemplates killing his son – I don't know, but I think that has crossed the minds of certain dads. And as well as Domingo and Caballé, Shirley Verrett is on that recording, who is one of the greatest mezzo-sopranos of all time. So everybody is in there at their zenith vocally, and it's a wild ride."

This series is so good. This slowly expanding group of friends and lovers are so close, so tight knit, so amazingly protective of each other. I love it!

Snow was a little bit of a mystery after the first one and i wasn't sure how much I'd enjoy his story but wow. It blew me away. I love his relationship with Jude, how much he softened in general when he was around, he was no longer the destructive guy from the first book. The connection between them was mindblowing.

I could have cried for Rowe in this. The blow he received at the beginning was heartbreaking. It affected them all but poor lovely Rowe...the next book is his and i hope the authors have figured out a brilliant way of writing his story. Off to start it now.

A Useful Reading App
I've used this app/website to track my reading for many years and I have found that this has been the most user friendly of all book type tracking tools. It's very easy to find and you have many different editions to choose from, so that you can get your page count correct.

I like that you can add tags and organize your book shelves in whatever categories you want and the reading challenge function is fun.

I don't really use the group interaction part of the website, but I imagine this would be a great way of meeting people, who like reading similar authors and books as you.

My only gripe is the boxes that come up around the website, with recommendations and book awards. I don't really pay much attention to the recommendations, I read what I want to read and only take book recommendations from friends. I also don't select my reads, based on popularity or book awards. So, I would prefer it if there was some way of taking this off of your profile.

This is a must have app/website for all book lovers.
