I was wondering what something by Roger Waters called "Ca Ira" (actually with accented characters I don't have on my keyboard).

I download it from Virgin, and it is really by Bryn Terfel, and does not sound like Waters at all.

It is his long awaited Opera based on the French Revolution.  He is the composer of the piece only and does not perform on it.

It may be a aquired taste for some, but personally I love it.

Thanks. Who is this Bryn guy, then?

He (Bryn Terfel) is the male opera singer. The piece of music is not by him. But by Roger Waters, based on the original libretto by Etienne & Nadine Roda-Gil.
Other singers are Paul Groves (I believe an American) and the Chinese Ying Huang.
I also find this piece quite nice actually, but had to get used a little to opera music...
Great others like it too  :)
