    Smallville Season 3

    After checking out the recap by the hilarious and gifted Omar G., I'm pretty sure this is the only episode in which the Requiem was used. That was the Season 3 finale, episode number 3-22, called "Covenant". The moment that stumps me comes, as I mentioned, near the end of the previous one...

    Smallville Season 3

    Sorry for the double-post, but I've listened to my recording of Mozart's Requiem, and I'm sure now that what I heard in that Smallville scene was not from that work. I think the Requiem was actually used in the next episode (the season 3 finale) but I'll have to double-check. I'm going to go...

    Smallville Season 3

    Thanks, Michelle. I'll definitely do that. As I say, it didn't sound like any portion of the Requiem that I recall, but I haven't listened to it in a while, so I might be mis-remembering. And a snippet of a musical setting of the Mass for the Dead would certainly fit a scene where the subject...

    Smallville Season 3

    Well, there are Bellinis and Bellinis, aren't there? Giovanni B. (1430-1507) was the painter; Vincenzo B. (1801-1835) was the composer, creator of Norma, one of the most famous operas in the bel canto style. Of course, you're having me on, so the Bellini you want is the drink created by Harry's...

    Smallville Season 3

    Michelle: I was wondering about this piece myself; the episode is 3-21, entitled "Forsaken". The final scene begins with Lionel Luthor in his darkened office; there's music on the stereo in which a soprano and orchestra are prominent. It sounds like Verdi, or possibly Bellini, to me. I don't...

    Range Rover "hitch hikers" opera

    I agree it sounds like a newer recording; a fairly mature voice, I think. I begin to wonder now if it might be Angela Gheorghiu. That's a long shot, I think. Doesn't sound like anyone I know, really. (Off to check out a track list for Gheorghiu's latest CD. Er. Not that I'm obsessive, or...

    Range Rover "hitch hikers" opera

    I was sure I recognized the little snippet of "Qui la voce." Thanks for the confimation, Molly. Do you happen to know whose recording was used in the commercial? I don't recognize the soprano, and I can't find any other source of information.
