Today's goodbye and "wish I'd be there" moment is with Itzhak Perlman playing the third movement of Brahms' Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 77, with The Philarmonia Orchestra of London and conducted by Lawrence Foster. (1978) 👏👏👏 And here is the YouTube link for the full concert.

Anne Queffélec performing Marcello/Bach BWV 974, Adagio. The Oboe Concerto in D minor, S D935, was composed by Alessandro Marcello (1673–1747), a Venetian noble who often published his works under the pseudonym Eterio Stinfalico. Bach, during his Weimar period (1708–1717), transcribed the oboe concerto for solo keyboard, creating a harpsichord arrangement known as BWV 974.

For the Jazz lovers, an excerpt from John Coltrane Quartet's “My Favourite Things”, Comblain-La-Tour, 1965.

Good morning with Yuja Wang and Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 2! ☕

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".
