Gagnidze - about time for me

I break the long and excuseless silence of this blog to note that I am about to hear, for the first time, George Gagnidze.

Of course he came to the Met with the Bondy TOSCA, but that's hardly his fault, and somehow, despite his many Scarpie and Rigoletti since, I somehow haven't heard him until the b'cast of his Amonasro today.
