AboutMike Leone Expertise I have a special affinity for Italian opera, but I also have a lot of experience with French and German opera. I know somewhat less about opera from countries other than these, although there are some exceptions. My main area of interest is the period 1775-1925, although there are a few baroque and modern works that I love.
Experience I've been listening to opera since 1963 and have amassed a large collection of recorded opera during those years. My interest here spans the entire history of recorded opera, going back to its very earliest days.
Publications I have published a couple of lengthy reviews and a tribute to Mario del Monaco in Immortal Performances, have had some letters appear in Fanfare and have several reviews on amazon.com.
Education/Credentials B.A., University of Maryland 1973, M.A., University of Texas 1975, J.D., University of Houston 1998 (none of these degrees are in music).
Question I am looking for the operatic song that was played near the end of the movie, "The Counterfeiters". Its an instrumental,and a man sings in German.
I would be so grateful if you can help me. It's a great movie by the way.
Thank you
Answer Hi--
I haven't seen the movie and so wouldn't know the song you are talking about. Here, however, is a link to the soundtrack on amazon, with brief snippets of all the songs. If the pieces are in order then it would probably be one of the last ones. None of these look to be from operas, so it's possible that I wouldn't recognize it even if I heard it.
