Carmen - Duets and Arias

I am listening to a lovely collection from the opera Carmen as I do my posting, in which Andrea Bocelli - as Don Jose - is the cover photograph.   Early in the opera there is a duet - ‘Que son fils l’aime et la vénère" - with Don Jose sung by Andrea Bocelli and Micaëlia sung by Eva Mei  Mei  that is simply magnificent embodying to me the enchantment of music that transposes us to another plane of thought and feeling, that lets us for a moment transcend our mortal coil.  The unison of the male and female voice and the orchestral music seem designed by a higher order of being.

now alas I must go out to the mundane of setting posts into the ground for the bee hive wind break
