Judith my wonderful colleague in this city of excesses. I am still here and have in fact just sent you an Email. Right now I am "a bit elephants" as we say down here "south of the water"(I don't know if anyone on this wonderful web site will understand any of that but please do let me know if you want to know what it means) and listening to Clara Haskil and the Hague Phiharmonic under Willem Van Otterloo lovingly soar through the Schumann Piano Concerto. Recorded in mono when we were mere nippers but pretty much unbeatable.

Ahhh, heaven on earth! Gould's 1981 recording of this work? This is what I deem to be the greatest recording in all of musical histroy!


As I promised I have moved out of the 19th century after a long stay in it. Today is Benjamin Britten's Violin Concerto Op. 15 (Rebecca Hirsch, soloist) and his Cello Symphony Op. 68 (Tim Hugh, soloist) performed by the BBC Scotish symphony Orchesra under the direction of Takuo Yuasa.

i want to know the title of beethoven song in film 'the generals daughter'. i would like to find that song.

[Sorrano]

Amalie, I like Respighi, but I don't think I have any of his music on hand. (Pity, isn't it!)

Gurn, the Wilms CD is on its way and I wait in eager anticipation.

This morning my world was jolted awake by a powerful performance (Karajan) of the 5th Symphony. Nice way to get up and get going!

The music you heard dosnx, was from the second act of Mozart's Opera, Die Zauberflote, [The Magic Flute] " In Diesen Heiligen Hallen"

and - O Fortuna! from Carmina Burana.

Hello every one...

On classicfm : With the restless Bach...

Violin Partita No.3 in E major
Magnificat in D major BWV.243
Goldberg Variations - Aria

magnificent music ..!

[Pastorali]

W.A. Mozart
'La Betulia Liberata'
Azione sacra in due parte
Text Pietro Metastasio
KV.118

[Amalie]

Fayrfax:
Awoke this morning to the serene silken voices of the sweet
Sixteen, 'Aternae Laudis Liluim' / Harry Christophers.


Dittersdorf:
Six Symphonies after Ovid's metamorphoses, no. 6, 'The Petrification of Phineus and his friends'
Cantelina / Adrian Shephard
An excellent piece, and superbly performed!


What more can we ask for with Beethoven at the helm to steer us on - 'A calm Sea and a Prosperous Voyage' Meeresstille und Gluckliche Fahrt, 0p. 112 / Colleguim Musicum / Richard Hickox.
I recommend this beautifully sung performance. This is a very poignant poem, since dear Beethoven's life was hardly free from troubles and probably never seen the sea.

Amalie,
I received that same set of Ovid as a gift from a dear friend, it is quite impressive and a reminder that Dittersdorf was considered one of the top masters of his craft. Very nice.

For me this lovely AM, it is the Symphony in d minor, #9 - Op 125 - Louis Beethoven. Vienna PO / Bernstein. A slower tempo than we have become accustomed to, and yet "just right" in many ways. Lovely playing by the boys in the band will always save the day!!

Amalie, I never tried to translate "Calm Seas..." before, does it go like this?

"Stick close to your desk, and never go to sea,
and you may be the ruler of the Queen's Navee"
