Wow, OlgaH, thank you so much!!  :-*  and the quality is excellent!

In fact, I never heard this wonderful opera in full. I just listened to this Polish part.

Glinka is wonderful.

Lily, you are welcome.

One of my favorite romances by M. Glinka to words from E. Baratynsky performed by Galina Vishnevskaya

(Don’t temp me with return of your tenderness needlessly.  All the temptations of the past days are alien to a disillusioned once.  I don’t believe in assurances, I don’t believe in love, and I cannot fall into dreams that betrayed me once  again.  Don’t multiply my blind anguish; don’t mention a word about the past.  Caring friend, don’t disturb the sick one in his drowsiness. I’m sleeping, and my sleepiness is sweet to me. Forget the past dreams; otherwise you will awake not the love but only anxiety inside of me)

[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA0vW9cNsgE[/youtube]

Не искушай меня без нужды
Возвратом нежности твоей;
Разочарованному чужды
Все обольщенья прежних дней!

Уж я не верю увереньям,
Уж я не верую В любовь
И не могу предаться вновь
Раз изменившим сновиденьям!

Слепой тоски моей не множь,
Не заводи о прежнем слова
И, друг заботливый, больного
В его дремоте не тревожь!

Я сплю, мне сладко усыпленье;
Забудь бывалые мечты:
В душе моей одно волненье,
А не любовь пробудишь ты.

would anyone happen to know or remember a russian song video with very fit girls in underwear and fur hats, probably with guns too, have a guy/soldier tied to a chair?
I think it was quoted here by someone, and that's how I learned about it. But I can't find it just now. Wanted to show me to my friends. ))
I do not think there is anything particularly memorable about the music or lyrics in this song because I didn't remember any of it. But girls were really hot :D

Thanks!

The lyrics 'sounded' like Latin but rather obscure and unfamiliar, and in effect they aren't ;):
Quote
Era - Ameno
Music Video + Lyrics
Language = Pseudo-Latin
Country: France, Ariege departement
Places: memorial monument in "The field of the burned" below the castle Montsegur.
Montsegur in SW Fance is where the local Cathars made their last stand in 1244 before being defeated by royal French troops, who subsequently burned all the survivors at the foot of the mountain. The operation was towards the conclusion of the Albigensian Crusade, a military campaign launched in 1209 at the instigation of Pope Innocent III to eliminate the Cathar heresy in Languedoc, and eventually concluded in 1255.
The above ruins date from a later period. Montsegur is one of the many places associated with the legend of the Holy Grail. The 'old' style you hint at is Gregorian chant ;).

A similar mixture is Carl Orff's cantata Carmina Burana, composed in 1935-1936 and based on 24 of the poems found in the medieval collection Cantiones profanæ cantoribus et choris cantandæ comitantibus instrumentis atque imaginibus magicis ("Songs of Beuern: secular songs for singers and choruses to be sung together with instruments and magic images."). Its opening piece:

[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HMQOX3h7ZI&feature=related[/youtube]

The main language of the poems is Latin. A few are in German or are macaronic, i.e. mixtures of Latin and a vernacular - either German or French.

Burana/Beuern is Benediktbeuern in Bavaria, home of a famous monastery formerly belonging to the Benedictine Order, founded in about 739.

Albinoni's Adagio in G Minor is a soundtrack favourite, it was used in some 40 movies (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0016846/filmoyear), the first having been Orson Welles's Le procès (The Trial, 1962, from Kafka's novel).

Paganini was a virtuoso himself, and his works are quite difficult to master.  Here is a brilliant interpretation -

Paganini was a virtuoso himself, and his works are quite difficult to master.
Niccolò Paganini (1782–1840) had exceptionally long fingers and was capable of playing three octaves across the four violin strings in a single handspan, a feat that is still considered almost impossible by today's standards. He also developed a novel left-hand technique of string plucking, and his astonishing performances led many to believe that he had sold his soul to the Devil :D (http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=7115856528082343477&hl=en-GB#). His rondò La campanella (the little bell) is often offered as an encore by concert violinists, here played on Paganini's own Guarnieri violin, il Cannone (the cannon):

Wow, loved the fireworks at the end of O Fortuna!!

I am extremely familiar with this piece. My two brothers and I were part of the choral in 1976 who sang this the first time in Puerto Rico. I learned a lot about it from the Maestro Sergei Rainis, a Yugoslav who tried to speak Spanish.  :D

It came as a shock to me when Rainis started explaining the parts. Boy, those monks were really naughty. Deflowering geese (virgins) and other naughty stuff which I will omit.

Still, one of the most powerful pieces ever heard.

Thanks Sandro.

Carmina Burana is the first of the Trionfi trilogy by Carl Orff, which also includes the lesser known Trionfo di Afrodite (Triumph of Aphrodite) and Catulli Carmina (Catullus's Poems), both with lyrics in Latin:

[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0xXGzeQaWw[/youtube]

Carl Orff is also remembered for his innovative work in musical pedagogy, Schulwerk (School Work), a.k.a. Musik für Kinder (Music for Children).

Yes, but Rod Argent's greatest moment is the organ break in this, surely.

Incidentally, the Rising Sun is a pub and 'district' of Wallsend where Eric Burdon came from (and about 3 miles from my house).  The band were Tyneside locals.

José Feliciano also recorded his own version of Joaquín Rodrigo's famous Concierto de Aranjuez (1939):

I like all of Andrew Llyod Webber's work, especially .

Ted Neely and Carl Anderson, not to mention Yvonne Elliman, were just awesome in their respective roles in this play. I turned my wife to this after she had experienced Phantom, Lion King, Chicago, Dirty Dancing, etc...and she had since ordered a DVD from Amazon. She must've watched it a thousand times with the subtitles on and had been signing the songs ad nauseum. LOL. Too bad I've never seen it performed 'live'.

Moreover, consider that this was done back in 1973, I think the dance composition, choreography and cinematography was way ahead of it's time.

I especially liked the and segments on this musical. Very entertaining...
