*makes note to check out DiNiese* I love Dessay. But someone whose forte is Cesare, that sounds most excellent.
David Daniels... I've listened to recordings of his that I think are amazing (his "Ombra mai fu," parts of the Pergolesi Stabat Mater), and recordings of his that just left me totally cold (...most of the rest of his Baroque CD). I have no idea what I'd think of him live, but I'd love to find out :)
Cesare was one of the first operas I ever saw, back when an acquaintance conned me into buying student season passes so he'd have someone to go with -- it was one of his favorites, and he tried to communicate to me why this was, but unfortunately I didn't have the slightest clue, and I didn't appreciate it at all. I wish I could go back and watch some of the operas I watched that year, now that I appreciate opera more.
