A very late start today but for lunch break I chose Bach's Air with Anne Akiko Meyers and Reiko Uchida. Have a beautiful Friday!
Tonight, I say goodbye with Glenn Gould performing The Goldberg Variations (Bach) in 1964. Have a good evening!
I take a small detour with Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli playing "J'attendrai", which is the French version of the Italian "Tornerai". (1938)
Somebody in the comments proposed Yehudi Menuhin with Ravi Shankar so here we go. View quoted note →
Today I start with a bit more joy. Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro, Overture, with The New York Philharmonic Orchestra and Leonard Bernstein. Have a great day!
Yehudi Menuhin, together with Stéphane Grappelli, also called "the grandfather of jazz violin", having fun with Gade’s 1925 tango, “Jalousie” (Tango Tzigane). I should come back at some point with Stéphane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt. Until then, have a beautiful evening!
For today's late lunch break, Renaud Capuçon and Martha Argerich playing Kreisler's Liebesleid (Love's sorrow) for Violin and Piano.
We continue in the same "mood" with Krystian Zimerman playing Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5, Op. 73 “Emperor” III. Rondo. Allegro, together with the Philharmonic of Vienna and directed by Leonard Bernstein. It was recorded at the Musikverein, Vienna, in September 1989.
A peaceful start of the day with Schubert's Impromptu in B flat major, Op. 142, No. 3., which isn't exactly the most known, but we're here for inspiration too. Have a great day!
After a long time, we had a few hours of sun and it made it into the news. They even said that we might see the sun again in ten days. 😂 Anyway, Vivaldi's Winter makes it easier, especially through Mari Samuelson's violin. Have a good evening!
