Lea Ann,
Sorry not to have written sooner (busy weekend) but I completely understand the boredom thing ... especially with Caro Mio Ben!!!! I've been working on Vittoria Mio Core! which is great. It was the piece that made me discover the Bartolli CD. Unfortunately, I have my moments of absolute frustration with the piece because I don't sound like Bartoli!
When I get to the boredom/frustration point, I usually go into a mad sight-reading phase to discover new stuff or I pull out Carmen!! If I can't sing like Bartoli, I certainly can't do a Maria Callas Carmen either. I sing excerpts of Carmen... badly .... and then, once I start getting a headache from the sound of my own voice, I'm then persuaded that I should just stick with good old Vittoria and go back to it refreshed!!!!!
Works every time!
