Rhiannon Giddens opera = delight!
UPDATE: I think it's also worth pointing out that Rhiannon Giddens is a wonderful human being. Aside from making podcasts, singing opera, performing live, recording with Beyoncé, acting on Nashville, collaborating with everyone from Ben Harper to Renee Fleming to Yo Yo Ma, being the music director of the Ojai Music Festival and writing children's books (whew!), she uses her fame to shine light on other Black country and traditional musicians. she walks the talk. I'm a longtime fan of Rhiannon Giddens, but I never knew that she had trained as a classical singer. If she was hosting any podcast, I was going to listen to it, but I am especially delighted with Aria Code because I love opera. I'm familiar with many of the arias dissected in this series, but some are new to me. Either way, each episode is a delight. I love hearing about the history of these operas, and I love hearing the singers discuss how they approach a particular role. When Rhiannon plays the complete aria at the end of the episode, it really does make a difference in how I understand it, no matter how often I have heard it before. I hope Aria Code will be around for many more seasons.Read full review »
