Kurt Vonnegut

that used to unite Linda and me, continues to, and always will.
I hope you enjoy it, too.

This collection of music is dedicated to Linda Kairys, my loving wife and life partner.

Linda speaking to me from afar.

The greatest female vocalist of all time.

Callas’s favorite opera.

The most phenomenal spontaneous chorus of all time.

The purest singing voice.

At her best.

Died young in 1960. Nondescript appearance but oh, that voice.

Dominated the stage – whether solo or part of a chorus.

Composed by Shubert in praise of another woman. Later, the music was used to create the Ave Maria we all recognize.

Wrote this on his deathbed at age 31. Very prolific. His genius is unsurpassed.

Visualize trout swimming in a stream.

My favorite opera. Most of his operas are superb, ranking him among the greatest opera composers.

Performed at my Uncle Dave’s funeral over 40 years ago. Never have forgotten it.

The father of them all.

Symphonies 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9 are my favorites. His body of work laid the foundation for what came after.

Kinda grows on you.

Mimi’s health condition worsens.

Kleiber’s performance at age 40 skyrocketed him to international prominence.

Conducting Beethoven’s 4th symphony.

Kleiber in rehearsal. He becomes one with the music – no translation needed. Best to not be called on.

Paired with music, its the perfect enhancement to the connection with Linda.
