Here with my accompanist Ruth Girard after my first recital in 1981 at
the age of 21 which happened to be in my hometown Kenora Ontario.

Song: Vergin Tutto Amor Composed By: Francesco Durante Sung By: Mark Winkler Accompanied By: Ruth Girard Date Recorded: 1981 |
Circa 1981...I guess this is what you would consider my debut performance...the first time I sang classical music in public.
What
was I thinking? It's a frickin’ art song and I am singing it like it
was a dramatic Verdi opera. I was such a ham in those days...so unlike
me now.
The song is called "Vergin Tutto Amor." A very popular Italian song (a bit flat in spots...I'll blame the reel to reel :)
