Hi MarsGal

This guitar and flute was just THE thing: Aviv  fell asleep so fast with it that I  barely had the time to cover him   His parents will be here in another hour to take him home.

Rodgers: March Of The Siamese Children brings back good memories of long long ago

BUBBLE  hope they are good memories.

Yes, delightful, of the film The King and I  In the 50s I think

I saw the live performance in Stratford and I was entranced

Oh I would have loved to see that!

**snore, snore**  Aviv is fast asleep but I hear a car.  The parents are here at last: 10.15 pm!  Theses parents really have long hours.

I don't care much about this piece now, after the delightful previous one.

Layla tov and thanks!

DON  thank you once again for a relaxing afternoon listening to wonderful music and a bit of history about the composers. Have a great week and will look forward to next Sunday.

Clara Schumann, a lovely little piece.

MarsGal  that's a beautiful work by Clara Schumann

The Chevalier de Saint-Georges certainly garners a lot of attention on this programme, but his life is such a fascinating story I felt it was tale worth sharing.  Stradella too,a gangster of the highest order who could compose music, has a story worth knowing as well, all of which is, of course, interspersed with some pretty good music.

The Clara Schumann is lovely.  I was too lazy to tease out all the German, but the next to top commentary, by a man, was very admiring of her as a teacher, a modernizer of piano, and performer, in spite of having had 8 children and 2 miscarriages in 16 years.  He calls her "the Martha Argerich of her time".

Don, that looks like a great program, and my topsy-turvy life has settled down enough that I'll probably be able to listen to it.  I'm looking forward to all the Saint-Georges and the Bach, and I'm curious about the Hisaishi.  I saw Princess Mononoke, but don't remember the music.  I was too busy trying to figure out what the movie was saying.

Pat it will be great to have you back in our midst.

Looking forward to  this Sunday program.  I hope Aviv will fall asleep fast: I am baby sitting that day of the week for a month.

I went to listen again to Clara Schumann.  Thanks MarsGal  that's so peacefully pleasing.

Bubble, I like it too, better than the one (forget which) that I saw listed as her most notable work. Looking forward to this afternoon's program. This morning I intend on going out to bag for the trash some pine needles I raked into a pile the other week.

Yes I think the program later will be most interesting.  Right now I am listening to all the selections given after the Clara Sch.  piece.  All quiet and good background music for doing PSP.

Looking forward to today's program.

soon...

Tuned in and getting myself comfortable to sit back and enjoy.

what a delight this first  piece is!

Hi Gloria,  Bubble didn't I tell you that was a work that Aviv would  love?

I am here too, been a long time since I listened to " good music "....

So you did, Don but... he had a character on TV that he did not want to lose.  So the music was in the background but he did not pay attention to it

Hi Vanilla - great to have you with us. I think it is most enjoyable to be able to listen in company - don't you think?

Hi Jackie, welcome

I can see a good crowd gathering....

Thank you Don, that has made my day....
