It's Sunday, and we're off to an evening of Victorian Music Hall at one of our favourite venues Wilton's tonight, in aid of their restoration fund. I can't wait!
It's also the lovely Deanna Durbin's 90th birthday today - one of the last survivors from the "Golden Age" of Hollywood. I have (needless to say) blogged about Miss Durbin and her estimable vocal talents before, but in the true spirit of what we call "Sunday Music", here's a bit more...
I love Miss Durbin's version of the Cole Porter classic Night and Day:
Here she does sweet justice to Delibes' Les Filles de Cadiz, a song we adore:
And finally, who even knew there were lyrics to Carl Maria von Weber's Invitation to the Dance?
Many happy returns!
Deanna Durbin Showcase
have fun - look forward to reading about it later in the week
