If you start the day with something epic, you have to choose something fantastic to end the day. So let's go with Leonard Bernstein and the London Symphony Orchestra performing Mahler's Symphony No. 2 in C Minor "Resurrection", V. Finale.
Have a great evening!
From a DC Trombone Workshop, Adrian B. Sim's "Rise of the Fallen Star" for trombone choir. Quite impressive! 👏 👏
The epic finale of Bruckner's Symphony No. 8, with Münchener Philharmoniker and conducted by Sergiu Celibidache.
(Suntory Hall, Japan, 1990)
I attached the YouTube link for the full concert.
For those who need a dose of brass music, Ferdinand David's Trombone Concertino with Michael Buchanan and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Jun Märkl. I added the YouTube link because the video is too big.
For Khatia Buniatishvili's fans, here together with A$AP Rocky (vocal) and Pierre Bertrand (sax). Enjoy!
A leap back in time, to the 1971 Macerata Opera Festival, with Birgit Nilsson and Franco Corelli in Puccini's Turandot.
Have a great Sunday.
20 years ago, Luciano Pavarotti was part of the opening of the Winter Games in Torino. Not many know that the audio part was pre-recorded, because the cold air could've damaged his voice. Nonetheless, a memory was created. (Nessun Dorma)
I wrote before that the place of an event can put everything in the most beautiful frame.

@ཀռօֆ🝤ʀǟɖǟʍɨᶻ 𝗓 𐰁, I hope you enjoy the place of the show!
My only post for today, the horn solo from the second movement of Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5.
Have a peaceful Saturday!
You should look into "The Bride!".
With Jessie Buckley, Christian Bale, Peter Sarsgaard, Jake Gyllenhaal, Annette Bening and Penélope Cruz, directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal.
I like a good story.
Probably my only post for today, Yuja Wang playing Prokofiev's Toccata. But I want you to look at the orchestra (Berliner Philharmoniker) watching her absolutely mesmerised.
That's it, have a great day!
This might be the only post for today but I decided to delight you with Sabine Devieilhe in Blonde's aria "Durch zärtlichkeit und schmeicheln" from Mozart's "Die Entführung aus dem Serail".
To end the day, Seong-Jin Cho performs Ravel's "Le tombeau de Couperin", M. 68, 1st movement, Prelude. Even if it sounds playful, it's written in memory of a friend lost in the WWI, but he considered that "the dead are sufficiently sad".
Have a good evening!
It reminded me of Yuja Wang.
View quoted note →Mozart's Turkish March, street music edition. She seems to be a pro but I don't know who she is.
While this isn't my favourite version, I have to respect the author's choice to write it for piano. Here, played by Boris Berezovsky.
View quoted note →I was looking for Albéniz's Asturias in different versions and found this video from Orquesta de Guitarras de Albacete. 👏👏👏
Did you know that Richard Pryor, the actor, used to sing? He was opening shows for Bob Dylan and Nina Simone, and this should mean something.
To close the day, let's hear him singing "Nobody Wants You When You're Down and Out". (1966)
Have a good evening!
I don't know how many people know about Benamor but here we go. It's a Spanish operetta by Pablo Luna, first performed in Vienna at the Music Theater an der Wien on January 26. Initially, I didn't want to post it but if it has the result of bringing more people into opera, why not...
From last week, at the Mozart Week in Salzburg, Austria, Kathryn Lewek singing the Queen of the Night aria from the Magic Flute.
