What would probably be considered unacceptable today, in 1991 Plácido Domingo played as Otello.

In my perception, Cecilia Bartoli is one of the most underrated opera singers. Let's fix this by starting the day listening to her singing Händel's "Lascia la Spina".
It's impossible not to smile while imagining Shakespeare in a parallel universe watching Kurosawa's interpretation of Macbeth in "Throne of Blood".
Fun fact: In the archers' scene (@ 3:33), there were real archers shooting arrows. Clearly, very good archers, but that's dedication nonetheless.
Another history page from 1962 with Arturo Benedetti Michelagneli playing Debussy's Children's Corner.

I can argue that this week will have a great start if we listen to Langston Hughes II, who brings some Jazz spirit to The Beatles' "Yesterday".
It's time for another piece from my old "drinking list".
UNKLE - In a state
I mentioned before about the Opera Festival at Arena Di Verona, which started on June 12. One thing that totally skipped my attention was Paul Curran's production of La Traviata, created in a collaboration with Moulin Rouge, and it had its premiere last night.
If you want a slow morning while thinking about the next holiday, I suggest
Kimama Sketch with “Warm Conversations”.
Have a fine weekend!
It was a long, hot day. I don't have any beer at home, but if I did, it would go perfectly with Takuya Nakamura. Cheers and good night! 🍻
Today, my daughter has some school festivities, and this should be the only post.
This song is my wife's suggestion, so today I invite you all to Austria through Marcus Füreder's music, though some of you might know him as Parov Stelar.
He personally made the video for "Black Lilies" by painting everything by hand, image by image, like an old-school animated film.
Today I say goodbye with Nadja Janković playing maybe Paganini's best guitar work, Grand Sonata (1st movement, Allegro risoluto).
Have a fine evening!
I'm in the mood for some "old" jazz.
Chet Baker - I am a fool to want you
For today's coffee break, I present to you one of this year's guests from Jazz à Juan, whom you can enjoy on July 16.
The Fearless Flyers - Ace of Aces

Let's have a smooth start of the day with Arturo Benedetti Michelagneli playing Scarlatti's Sonata in C major K 159.
Have a great day!
A slow end of the day with Tony Ann and Arkai playing "Icarus" (orchestral version).
Remember when The XX introduced themselves to the world with "The intro"? I wasn't able to find that 2009 epic moment, but I can still recollect it well with the 2010 Live from Glastonbury.
Testing the new #Amethyst release with some folk-horror rock.
Honeycrush - My Dog
Have a good evening!
I really don't remember ever listening to Vivaldi's Four Seasons (Summer/Storm in this case) with a guitar involved. I'm still under the weather and sleep-deprived, so my memory is sketchy at best right now. I also listen to a lot of Techno these days because it works like coffee for me, but Vera Danilina is worth an exception anytime.
Because these days I have taken a sporadic detour through Techno, here's some that screams "I'm old". Kebu is having all-analogue-synths fun with Giorgio Moroder's "Chase".
(Sthlm Italo Disco Party, Nahlen, Oslo, 2015)
My "wanna be far away" mood can be best described right now by Paco De Lucia and Al Di Meola playing "Mediterranean Sundance".
