Today I say goodbye a bit unusual with Gandalf's fall, from The Lord of the Rings, with the Prague Orchestra.

A beautiful leap back in time, to 1975, with Shirley Verrett and Piero Cappuccilli singing “Fatal mia donna” from Verdi’s Macbeth.

Another Jazz moment: the John Coltrane Quartet playing "Impressions".

Wishing you a wonderful 3rd Advent Sunday with ”Es wird schon glei dumpa“ (It will soon be dark), an Austrian carol from 1884, performed by the Philharmonic of Vienna together with the Vienna Girls Choir.

A group of actors from Ludovica Rambelli Teatro of Naples, Italy, recreated on stage pictures of Caravaggio. The paintings in order: The Entombment of Christ Mary Magdalene in Ecstasy Crucifixion of Saint Peter The Beheading of St John the Baptist Judith Beheading Holofernes Flagellation of Christ The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew Annunciation Rest on the Flight into Egypt Narcissus, The Raising of Lazarus Saint Francis of Assisi in Ecstasy Bacchus

Your infrequent moment of jazz is here with Thelonious Monk's Crepuscule with Nellie. (1969)

Vienna State Opera from the Albertina Museum

Mood... Händel's Passacaglia in G minor directed by Horst Sohm, with the French Chamber Orchestra of Paris.

Sometimes I think about making a new npub for jazz. Until then, I'll bother you here with occasional detours. Nina Simone, I Loves You Porgy, 1960

I don't know if it's the last post for today or not but here's a classical guitar moment with Dragoș Ilie performing Jorge Cardoso's Milonga.
