What better artist to salute on this occasion, as her voice is heard at the top of every episode of the podcast, and her beautiful presence graces the <em>Countermelody <\/em>logo. I discuss my theory that each individual listener has a singer whose voice penetrates to the core of their being. For me, as for many others, Claudia Muzio is that singer. I explore her recorded legacy, which falls into three distinct periods recording for three distinct record companies. In the case of \u201cL\u2019altra notte,\u201d the classic aria from Arrigo Boito\u2019s <em>Mefistofele<\/em>, Muzio left three different recordings, one from each period. I examine these, and many of her other roles, in my attempt to plumb the depths of the Muzio mystique. Incidentally, there is a special bonus episode on Muzio that has been concurrently published for my Patreon supporters. What better time to celebrate this artist, and this occasion, than by signing up to become a monthly supporter on Patreon?
