Many people will recognise this first duet from the movie The Shawshank Redemption, in which it is played in a prison. It is gorgeous, especially this version sung by Lucia Popp and Kiri Te Kanawa. If you like this, you will probably also like another duet, this one from "Norma" by Vincenzo Bellini. I have posted "Canzonetta Sull'Aria" first, and "Mira, O Norma" second. Enjoy!
This next video has some rather 1970's outfits and hairstyles...please ignore those and concentrate on the gorgeous singing. Be sure to listen to the whole thing, through the lovely "friendship cabaletta" at the end. :)
