Music I love--maybe not, but music I enjoy that reminds me of my time in Odessa 2009 and makes me laugh when I see the parody and Ukrainian sense of humor.  Love the hairstyle of the models too.  Wish I knew what it is called.  Hope you enjoy too.

Fun memories of Moscow 2005 in Casino Europe singing Karaoke with long legged lovelies.


Via Gra, later Nu Vigros is a transition girl group that is not especially appreciated by Russians and Ukrainians but they are such a naughty indulgence.  Wish they would tour US--think they would do great.  Enjoy.

As best I can tell Krisina Orbakaite is respected as an artist by Russians and Ukrainians.  I think this song is very optimistic and playful.  I think it translates Light in the Window.  Hope you enjoy.

I agree with you that it is remarkable.  I don't know what the Russian script says, but these kids are frm DPNK.

Yeah Gator, it cuts me to tiny wonderful little pieces to watch kids excel in the arts, athletics, science and yet find the time to be the children that they are...amazingly wonderful to see. Makes me just want to run and embrace them all, LOL.

Lord only knows how badly I would love the right now Gator. But to have one at this time would be extremely selfish of me. Nat need to establish her as her own person and identity first and foremost, more especially because of our age gap. That gift will come in due time. She will let me know. She's very close. It’s what’s right for both of us and for each other. Heaven can wait.

Anyway…music I love. Tonight’s SYTYCD’s performance by Melanie (my vote for the best dancer. This gal is awesome) & Neal to Bonnie Tyler’s

In the summertime our concert season is in recess, but fortunately some initiatives relieve the paucity of available musical offerings, like the above Festival staged from July 20th to Ausust 29th with top-rate international performers of ancient music (Middle Ages to Baroque mostly) - for a paltry €10 admission ticket.

This coming Friday, Saturday and Sunday Gustav Leonhardt will offer recitals of German, French and Italian harpsichord music, a juicy occasion that I shall not miss :D.   

Tonight I had the opportunity of attending the performance of the Tallis Scholars, a fantastic British a cappella choir of 10 professional singers that filled the spaces of our Basilica di Santa Maria della Passione, a church just next Milan's Conservatory of Music. Here is a piece they sang:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn39RzlhSao[/youtube]

They specialise in Renaissance music, but also offer modern pieces like the Sieben Magnificat-Antiphonen by Estonian Arvo Pärt (1935):

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4wwGWPWeeo[/youtube]

Notice the influence of Orthodox Church choirs in the bass part of this piece.

I am jealous.  Love the harpsichord.  I attended a small concert in Dnepropetrovsk with what appeared to be an antique harpsichord.  No one knew enough English to answer my question about its age (or maybe they just had me on ignore).   You called it "harpsichord music."  I believe the harpsichord works on many sweet compositions, not just those composed for the harpsichord.

Meaning music originally written for the harpsichord ;), a keyboard instrument where strings are 'plucked' - much like a guitar's - hence its limited dynamics.

The first keyboard instrument where strings were struck by 'hammers' rather than plucked was the fortepiano (the forerunner of modern pianoforti - pianos), invented by harpsichord maker Bartolomeo Cristofori in Florence around 1700. The first reliable record of a fortepiano appears in the inventory of the Medici family (who were Cristofori's patrons), dated 1700. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortepiano).



The names themselves (fortepiano/pianoforte) mean loud/soft in Italian, i.e. highlight the more powerful dynamics produced than in plucked keyboard instruments. The fortepiano was an instrument accepted by composers only after about 1750, famously criticized by Johann Sebastian Bach around 1736 although he changed his mind later in 1747.

Most of J.S. Bach keyboard works were written either for the organ or the harpsichord, but since the mid 1850s many performers started playing the latter on the piano. In a way, it's like playing a piece for classical guitar on a Fender ;). Harpsichord music is ''denser' than piano music, i.e. consists of a myriad of rapidly alternating short notes (to overcome its dynamic limitations).

You can detected the transition in Mozart's keyboard works, written for the fortepiano but still showing typical harpsichord passages.

This coming Friday, Saturday and Sunday Gustav Leonhardt will offer recitals of German, French and Italian harpsichord music, a juicy occasion that I shall not miss :D.
...the best laid plans... :-\

Yesterday I was chagrined to read in our local newspaper that 2 of Leonhardt's 3 concerts were already sold out :(. I hastened to the website were tickets were sold, and was able to buy one of the 3 last available tickets to tonight's concert of French music - the least appealing to me since French baroque music is often rather 'frilly', i.e. with too much ornamentation for my personal taste.
Gustav Leonhardt is a sprightly 83 y.r. old that did not seem affected by Milan's oppressive 30°C+ heat, although his harpsichord was and he had to stop for a couple of minutes in mid-concert to retune it to his satisfaction. Here are two of the  pieces he played flawlessly, La D'Aubonne and La Saincy (the latter at 7'32" sounds rather modern ;)) by Antoine Forqueray (1671–1745):

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKAPg_-MT6Q[/youtube]

One of the reasons why tickets were sold out was probably due to the fact that these concerts were to be performed in churches with a rather limited capacity - about 100 seats. The first in San Sepolcro, next to the Biblioteca/Pinacoteca Ambrosiana:


One of the Biblioteca Ambrosiana proudest exhibits is Leonardo da Vinci's Codex Atlanticus, the largest collection of Leonardo’s papers ever assembled and named that way for its size, similar to that of an Atlas. Another, more curious exhibit is a transparent reliquary containing a lock of Lucrezia Borgia's fair hair :D.

Both buildings are located in the small, central Piazza San Sepolcro, less than 1 Km from our Duomo in an area that was populated by Milan's specialised craftsmen as still witnessed by its street names: via Orefici (goldsmiths), via Armorari (armourers), via Spadari (swordsmiths), via Speronari (spur makers), etc. The piazza was also famous as the birthplace of Fascism, since in March 1919 Mussolini held there a meeting and read his Manifesto dei Fasci italiani di combattimento. Being a Sansepolcrista, i.e. an early-date Fascist, was considered a rare and honourable distinction then :(

The other sold-out concert will be tomorrow night in the choir of nearby San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore, built in 1503 as a female convent of the Benedictines and beautifully frescoed by Bernardino Luini (c. 1480/82-1532), a North Italian painter from Leonardo's circle:

For more than 20 years since the mid 1970s they staged there in spring and autumn Musica e Poesia a San Maurizio, poetry readings and ancient music performances that I attended often.

Sandro,
 
My sympathy that you could obtain a ticket for only one harpsichord concert.  If you left Italy and moved to the South, you would also have trouble attending a harpsichord concert ( for a different reason, however).  Not to be sad because there would be plenty of other music concerts.

I don't mind some occasional country music - say 2 or 3 songs, after that they become rather monotonous for me, and I find the Hawaiian guitar grating after a while - after all, that's where R'n'R started from, mixed with black blues music ;D.

IINM, its origins can be traced to Irish music - reels for the fast pieces and airs for the slow ones ::).

Track 2
Quite a different musical atmosphere compared to the other piece - somewhat more 'domesticated', too? - showing what change a string accompaniment can produce ;).
