I have always been a fan of Carlos Kleiber, especially when he was conducting German of Viennese music. Here is the overture to Johann Strausss' "Die Fledermaus" ("The Bat") with the Bavarian State Orchestra in 1986. Something for you to enjoy on this Second Sunday of Epiphany while it snows outside (in NE Ohio).
The Collect for the Second Sunday of Epiphany
Almighty God, whose Son our Savior Jesus Christ is the light of the world: Grant that your people, illumined by your Word and Sacraments, may shine with the radiance of Christ's glory, that he may be known, worshiped, and obeyed to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
The girls and I always look forward to listening to the music that you have chosen for the day. Rachael asked me, "What about Opera? Doesn't Brian like opera?"
