We released 4 new episodes of @TheRestHistory this week.
Two marked the 2070th anniversary of Caesar's CROSSING OF THE RUBICON

The second episode took us to the banks of the Rubicon itself. What did Caesar really say as he hesitated before making the crossing?
Then we released two more anniversary episodes: this time to mark 1922, and to explore the degree to which the year stands - as Ezra Pound claimed it did - as the beginning of the modern.
1/ Here is the DVD of Pizzetti's ASSASSINIO NELLA CATTEDRALE, filmed at a church in Spain that's said to bear a close resemblance to how Canterbury Cathedral looked in 12thc.
The star is Ruggiero Raimondi, somewhat lacking is bass sonority, but a decent

2/ voice and a good actor (traits said to be not unknown to the saint he's portraying!). Here
is the audio of the world premiere. Opera's first #Becket was Nicola Rossi-Lemeni: a more bass-y bass than Raimondi; not a gorgeous sound like Siepi or Tozzi, but

Karajan attended one of these performances and vowed to conduct ASSASSINIO at Salzburg. And so he did, 2-3 years later, in German, with the great Hans Hotter as his #Becket.

1/ This⬇️ is awesome! 15thc text (Chaucerian English, basically), composed 2029 by a guy who can really do medieval.
2/ All honor to Stephen Barker for getting his #Becket Carol performed, and so well too! I have my own Becket Carol - that is, I did the lyrics, and used “Good King Wenceslas” as my tune. See next tweet.... #Becket850 #Becket2020

Good King Henry 2 got whipt
On the Feast of #Becket.
Grete his heart and eke his tongue,
Whan that he could check it.
But one day, “This priest” sed he,
“Who shall rid me of him?”
Now he’s got five Saxon monks
Swinging whips abo-O-ve him.
