My only post for today, Johan de Meij conducts his Symphony No. 1 "The Lord of the Rings", 5th movement, with "The President's Own" United States Marine Band.

Lately, I'm missing the Jazz scenery so I will end the day with Langston Hughes II playing John Coltrane's Central Park West.
Have a fine evening! 🎷🎹🥃🚬
👏👏👏

Did you ever hear Nina Simone playing the Sound of Silence from Simon and Garfunkel? This short recording was made during her trip for Montreux Jazz Festival in 1968.

For no reason at all other than my mood, Va Pensiero, the Hebrew Slaves Chorus, from Giuseppe Verdi's Nabucco. Credit to the Metropolitan Opera for this wonderful presentation.

Because some of you seem to be real connoisseurs when it comes to organs (see previous post), here are the details.

Today I say goodbye with Jan Liebermann
playing Tschaikowsky’s Dance of the Little Swans on the organ.
Have a great evening!

When was the last time you enjoyed a male choir? Alfredo Kraus sings "Chanson de Kleinzack" from Les Contes D'Hoffmann. An impressive reopening of the Zurich Opera House in 1985 with Alfredo Kraus, Josè Carreras, Lucia Popp and Thomas Hampson, to name a few.

My only post for today, a leap back in time to 1966, with Martha Argerich playing Liszt's beautiful Hungarian Rhapsody No.6, with a special finale.
Have a great weekend!

As you know, on very rare occasions, I recommend a movie or something more or less extra.
This is “Piece 1” by Tobias Bell from Prime Video’s Original Series “Étoile”, and it seems connected somehow with the 1989 movie with the same name. I just found out about it and it looks good, so I added the trailer too.
