sawylOn both last week's and this week's Private Passions, the guests have chosen Schlummert ein — Diana Quick opting for Fischer-Dieskau, Alex Jennings plumping for Lorraine Hunt-Lieberson. While I agree that it's a nice aria — the whole of Cantata 82 is rather wonderful and perfectly suited to a rainy Sunday afternoon — I personally prefer the opening aria, Ich habe genug, which features a really great oboe obbligato.
In another coincidence, both guests also picked something by Marvin Gaye. Maybe it's an actorly thing?
