Have a great day with a tribute to Amy Winehouse. 20 years since "Back To Black"... (Live at Other Voices, 2006)

This is the definition of "aura farming". 😂

I begin the week with a Viennese love story from 1901, when Mahler didn't tell "I love you" to Alma Schindler, like a commoner, but he chose to do it like a true composer (Alma was one too), and about four months later they married in secret. Gustav Mahler's "Adagietto" from the 5th Symphony with Leonard Bernstein and Wiener Philharmoniker, 1973.

I say it again, we don't have enough street music. This and a bottle of wine.

In 1995, a history page was written at the Sanremo Music Festival when Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman gave us "Con te partiro". I never posted about Bocelli, so I had to make it right.

My second morning coffee, on this rainy day, went with Leila Josefowicz and John Novacek performing Jean Sibelius's "Valse Triste". Optimal, I might say. Have a great weekend!

It's what I just listened to, so you can skip it. Freddie King's "Ain't Nobody's Business" (Live at the Sugar Bowl, 1972) View quoted note →

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 those who live in Austria. On September 12, DJ Padre Guilherme will do his thing in Mörbisch am See (Burgenland). I have attached the official link for the event and tickets.

Padre Guilherme live in Mörbisch bei Cross Pulse Pannonia

Der weltweit bekannte DJ‑Priester Padre Guilherme kommt am 12. September 2026 nach Mörbisch. Heilige Messe, Rahmenprogramm und Live‑Konzert be...

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".
