You're listening to what I'm listening to, so here you go: George Duke Trio playing "It's On", live at Java Jazz Festival, 2010 Have fun!
A history page for my afternoon coffee, which might be a bit depressing for some, with David Oistrakh (violin) and Sviatoslav Richter (piano) performing the second movement from Brahms' Violin Sonata No. 3. (Alice Tully Hall, New York City, 1970)
"Miserere mei, Deus" was composed by Gregorio Allegri around 1630 and is related to the 51st Psalm. The Vatican forbade anyone from making copies of it, and it was performed strictly in the Sistine Chapel during Holy Week. There's a legend that says that a 14-year-old Mozart wrote it down after hearing it, and this is how it became accessible, for the lack of a better term. Have a great evening!
For the LOTR fans, Howard Shore's "A Knife in the Dark" with the Danish National Symphony Orchestra. Mostly because I have never seen chains used as a musical instrument.
It might sound a bit stupid, but having Samuel Barber's "Agnus Dei" in your headphones while staying in a Catholic Church to admire its art is a totally underrated experience.
For a quick afternoon espresso, I recommend Yuja Wang's Piano Etude No. 6 by Philip Glass. ☕
For this morning, something new for me: Julio Sagreras' "El colibri" performed by Marco Tamayo. Such a pleasure to find new stuff!
What a pleasure this was! Curtis Mayfield playing Marvin Gaye's "Inner City Blues". Have a great evening!
My lunch coffee today came with Nina Simone's "Ain't Got No, I Got Life". What a pleasure! (London, 1968)
For that part of my heart that loves Italy, we start this week with Luciano Pavarotti and Lucio Dalla singing "Caruso".
Dayum! She moves like she's preparing for a role in The Matrix. 👏👏👏
One of those moments when you wish you had been in that specific place at that specific time. The Alcázar Palace in Sevilla, Spain, with John Williams playing Isaac Albéniz's "Asturias".
Since I'm back in Austria, I should promote more events. On September 10, at the Karlskirche (St. Charles' Church) in Vienna, there's the Open Church Sound from 16:00 to 23:00, with the Holly Mass from 18:00 to 19:00.
A history page from 1962, Paris, with David Oistrakh (violin) and Frida Bauer (piano) playing Debussy's "Claire de Lune". Now I need a cigarette...
For today's lunch break, I propose to you an "un-classic" street performance from ZAZ with "Je veux". (You can skip the first 40 seconds.)
A calm start today with Amstel Quartet putting Saxophones in Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings ".
About five weeks ago, I started a new account dedicated to art that I encounter in my day-to-day life, with the intention of posting at least once a day. I had a lot of issues because many clients weren't able to show it, but earlier today I made a new npub that seems fine. By Monday, everything should be in the new place, and I'll continue posting. Sculpture, architecture, and many more. I even started using #xmr for the more private folks. So take a peek! 🥂 View quoted note →
