Okay i’m already on the back foot because i don’t know anything about opera. but in middle school the orchestra did an arrangement of it and i got to play timpani. imagine how euphoric it felt to play timpani around the 2 minute mark onward. i’ve got chills just thinking about it [pavarotti version attached - it’s the one i know]
“Ray of Light” came on in the car the other day right as I turned down a windy canyon road and I had a religious experience. This live performance on Oprah really conveys how vocally ambitious this record was for Madge. She seems a little shy and her dancing is really cute
