Gert linked to something rather amusing--fans of Katherine Jenkins purport to think that Joyce DeDonato's broken leg is a publicity stunt. We here in America are not required to worry about Katherine Jenkins.

On her website Joyce shows other people performing in wheel chairs in addition to herself.

In October Cecilia Bartoli will be releasing something named SACRIFICIUM. I have no idea what this might be. In the fall she is appearing in Spain with Il Giardino Armonico, the group she performed with on her Vivaldi recording. My son likes them quite a lot. I like them, too. They are far more idiosyncratic than the average original instruments group. For me idiosyncratic is good.
