A recent British Airways commercial and the movie "The Hunger" share a piece of rather pleasent music. It is chorus of female voices. I was wondering if anyone on the net new it's name and composer, and if any recordings of the piece are available. Thanks Paul Arthur Layman

The piece you are thinking of is a duet from the opera "Lakme" by Delibes. It is not much performed these days and recordings of it are hard to find. It is available on the soundtrack to "The Hunger", and is sometimes found on collections of arias by various sopranos. If you are seriously interested, I would suggest looking in Schwann to find what label still has the opera in print. jcpatilla
