Classical Corner

[MarsGal]

You know I am a sucker for melancholy music. This is a cut from Mari Samuelson's first solo album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3PDoxrsE48  I had to look up Nordic Noir. This is what I found. https://www.lifeinnorway.net/nordic-noir/

Something a little lighter. Here she is with her bother, Hakon for Beethoven's Triple Concerto  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVlECss7Zzg

Most of her YouTube feeds seem to be unavailable here.

WOW!  Most unusual presentation!  I loved it.

[MarsGal]

An old favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbjPQ3gIYQQ

[so_P_bubble]

Interesting. But I think one has to grow used to it with repetition to be able to really appreciate.  Too new for me!

[Vanilla-Jackie]

Not quite under the classical's heading but...the best place to post it...
....a lesson to never judge a person...

[so_P_bubble]

Wow - that was a powerful voice and a powerful message.

[Vanilla-Jackie]

A lesson learned...never judge a person by the way they dress, the way they act nor the way they look...

[PatH2]

Wow, Jackie, that's good.  I wonder how he got along with his congregation after that.

[Vanilla-Jackie]

Bubble - Pat H
...that would be interesting to find out...at least he taught them a valuable lesson...

Bach gave us Gods Word.
Beethoven gave us Gods Fire.
Mozart gave us Gods Laughter.
God gave us music that we may
pray without words.

Barb over on SeniorLearn put up some really lovely Gregorian chants with a little history to go with it in our Mabiginion discussion for anyone who might be interested.  See post 197 https://seniorlearn.org/forum/index.php?topic=5440.0 Be sure to click on Show More because some of them have history and translations to the Latin.

 other great voices.

I could not login nor reregister in SeniorLearn

[Marilyne]

Bubble - I'm not a member of Senior Learn, and never have been, but I sometimes go there to read the Library posts, and to follow along with some of the book discussions.  I'll take a look later, and see if I can click on the link for the Gregorian Chants. 

[MarsGal]

Bubble I will have to listen to yours when I get upstairs. Can you put up some Hanukkah music, please?


I was hoping not to have to retype these, but here goes:

Thank you Bubble. The Children's Choir was especially lovely to listen to first thing in the morning.

[MSG]

MarsGal asked for Hanukkah music. This is hardly classical, but people do like it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Od4PRmAeD7Q

THIS however is classical, or at least classicalized:

[MarsGal]

Thank you so much, MSG, and Welcome.

[Vanilla-Jackie]

A bit of classical fun...

[Mary Ann]

That was fun, Jackie.  I ended up in Valencia Spain with the 1812 Overture by a Flash Mob.

[MSG]

That MozART group reminds me of Victor Borge.

[Vanilla-Jackie]

Playing the classical harmonica...i could not keep up with him at the end...

original Pas de Deux - wait until about after the first  minute and half for the fun to begin!

[Mary Ann]

I watched the first two and both were funny.  I have never been too interested in ballet but I've seen quite a bit nevertheless.  I don't think I've ever seen comic ballet before - I enjoyed both of them.

Inspired by Bubble's choice of names in the Follow the Name section:

Alicia de Larrocha on the piano playing Isaac Albeniz

Suite Española Op. 47 (1886)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pssZnVi_h2I

Pavana-Capricho Op. 12 (1882)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8hm3jouhYk

I am not much for piano, but I do like Alicia de Larrocha. My favorite album of hers is Manuel De Falla's Nights in the Gardens of Spain.
