Lately, I'm missing the Jazz scenery so I will end the day with Langston Hughes II playing John Coltrane's Central Park West.
Have a fine evening! 🎷🎹🥃🚬
👏👏👏

Did you ever hear Nina Simone playing the Sound of Silence from Simon and Garfunkel? This short recording was made during her trip for Montreux Jazz Festival in 1968.

For no reason at all other than my mood, Va Pensiero, the Hebrew Slaves Chorus, from Giuseppe Verdi's Nabucco. Credit to the Metropolitan Opera for this wonderful presentation.

Because some of you seem to be real connoisseurs when it comes to organs (see previous post), here are the details.

Today I say goodbye with Jan Liebermann
playing Tschaikowsky’s Dance of the Little Swans on the organ.
Have a great evening!

When was the last time you enjoyed a male choir? Alfredo Kraus sings "Chanson de Kleinzack" from Les Contes D'Hoffmann. An impressive reopening of the Zurich Opera House in 1985 with Alfredo Kraus, Josè Carreras, Lucia Popp and Thomas Hampson, to name a few.

My only post for today, a leap back in time to 1966, with Martha Argerich playing Liszt's beautiful Hungarian Rhapsody No.6, with a special finale.
Have a great weekend!

I had no idea, and now it's a bit too late, but some of you might find it helpful.

Luciana Serra singing Là pugnai; la sorte arrise, from Rossini's Aureliano in Palmira.
Rossini wrote this for the legendary castrato Velluti, but Serra put this performance in the "Best of Opera" hall of fame. Absolutely amazing!

I end the day closer to home, with Kathleen Battle singing Strauss' Frühlingsstimmen (Voices of Spring), conducted by Herbert Von Karajan. (Vienna, 1987)
👏👏👏👏
Have a good evening!

I saw this ad about the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra beginning a tour through Spain, Italy and Austria. Back when I was my only follower, I posted a short video with their history, so here it is once more.

I believe that in art, nationality should be irrelevant.

Let's end the day as we started, with an immersion into the Chinese culture. This time, ballet.

More exactly, with "The Red Detachment of Women", a revolutionary ballet that premiered in 1964 by the Central Ballet of China. It's a story related to the 1930s Chinese Civil War and an all-female communist guerrilla detachment. Some may laugh, some may enjoy it, it's a history page.

For jazz lovers, Thelonius Monk performing Ugly Beauty in 1969, in Paris, where he travelled for an interview with the French state television. This footage is from Rewind & Play, a 2022 Franco-German documentary by Alain Gomis.

Well, this is somehow a blind spot for me. While most of us know Lang Lang, here's together with solo violist Diyang Mei and principal horn Yun Zeng as they perform Huang Haihuai’s “Sai Ma” (Horse Racing), dedicated to the new Chinese year of the horse.
