Gratuitous Friday Part 2 – Jonas Kaufmann's Other Test Drive

Apparently, the video in my previous post was not the first time JK test-drove a Bimmer. This clip was posted to YT in 2010 and by all appearances, it was filmed that year. It seems that driving helps him learn his music. 

I have to admit I melted a bit when he started singing the flower aria from Carmen (that and when he patted the car on it's rear fender). Thanks to reader Cecily K for sending me the link to this clip.

Gratuitous Friday – Jonas Kaufmann's Test Drive

Finally! My two favorite obsessions—cars and opera (and JK in particular)—in one place: In this six-minute clip, Jonas Kaufmann test-drives the latest top-luxe BMW 7 series limo. (Although I think this clip actually is a few years old, as JK seems to still be wearing braces and they show a clip of his concert with Erwin Schrott and Anna Netrebko.) 

Why didn't someone think of this sooner? Cars and opera! Perfect!
