Mood: Joe Pass, All Things You Are (Brecon Jazz Festival, 1991) Have a great evening and meet you again tomorrow!

A moment with Wagner's Die Walküre, Ride of the Valkyries. Say what you want about the Metropolitan Opera but they know how to leave an impression. 2019)

For the Jazz lovers, Count Basie and Cleveland Eaton playing with Booty's Blues.

Daniel Barenboim, Itzhak Perlman, and Yo-Yo Ma doing magic with Beethoven's Triple Concerto in C Major, Op. 56: II.Largo. Have a beautiful Saturday!

After a long week, a peaceful moment with Daniel Glover playing Bach's Arioso from Concerto in F minor, BWV 1056. Have a beautiful weekend!

Tonight, I say goodbye with Glenn Gould performing The Goldberg Variations (Bach) in 1964. Have a good evening!

Let me know how it went.

An ad for Wagner’s Siegfried, which will have its last presentation on January 31, from the Opéra de Paris. Siegfried (Andreas Schager) confronts Mime (Gerhard Siegel) and questions his origins.

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!

I wish you all a fine weekend with the finale of Mahler's Symphony No. 1, Titan, with the Berlin Philharmonic and Sir Simon Rattle.

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!

Morning, Filou! 🥐☕

She is in a different league.

I might have the relays messed up or something. But thanks!

For lunch break, a bit of emotion with Juliana Grigoryan breaking everyone's heart as Mimì in Puccini’s "La Bohème".

For lunch break, a short moment with Gil Shaham, under Claudio Abbado's direction, Brahms' Violin Concerto, 1st movement.

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!

Probably the best "Flight of the Bumble Bee" I'll hear during my lifetime is György Cziffra's arrangement played by Yuja Wang. Have a beautiful Sunday and meet you again tomorrow!

Today I say goodbye with another history page, this time with Samson François playing the end of the first movement from Ravel's piano concerto in G major. (1964) Have a beautiful 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)

You're not the only one.

Let's have an epic end the week with Wagner's "Das Rheingold" (Entry of the Gods into Valhalla). Metropolitan Opera, 1990

Somebody in the comments proposed Yehudi Menuhin with Ravi Shankar so here we go.

She was 20.

Here you can find them together again in Tosca. "E lucevan le stelle" & "O dolci mani"

Some of you might find this more "out there". Fazıl Say's own work, and most famous, called "Black Earth". Have a good day!

I never refer to someone's nationality or whatever personal details unless it's absolutely relevant to the plot. This time, I will make an exception. Mezzo-soprano Anja Mittermüller, from my beautiful adoptive country, Austria, won the SWR contest for young opera singers, on January 17. And she's magnificent! 👏👏👏👏👏 I uploaded the trailer and added the YouTube link for the (small and friendly) contest. [Ruperto Chapí y Lorente's "Al pensar en el dueno de mis amores" from "Las Hijas del Zebedeo"] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMtQqriWtv4

While I usually prefer "old jazz", a notable exception would be The Midnight Hour, on this occasion performing "Redneph in B Minor". (Live at Linear Labs, 2018) Not like anyone asked, but my "favourite" jazz, so to speak, is played at night in basements full of cigarette smoke.

Did you "ping" me or something? I see this but unattached to any message. 🤷
