Cecilia has announced the schedule for next year's Whitsun festival here.   There is mention of Cecilia Bartoli singing "Wir hab nun Trauerigkeit" from the Deutsches Requiem, her first appearance that I know of in German. She sang Ravel in Yiddish, but that doesn't count.  Pape will also sing and Barenboim conduct.

This goes with Norma.  Ach.  I think we should expect the recording to be out by then.

There will be a piece by Sofia Gubaidulina.  Gergiev will conduct more than one program.   Maybe I'll feel better by then.
