I just realised that I skipped opera for some time. In conclusion, today I'll say goodnight will this absolute masterpiece from 1981 with Claudio Desderi and Paolo Montarsolo singing “Un segreto d’importanza” from Rossini’s “La Cenerentola”. 👏👏👏
I wish you all a beautiful evening!

Warner Bros Italy hits different, I guess.
From December 25, Primavera in Cinemas.
I think I skipped the cello for some time so I should fix it. Always a good idea, Gautier Capuçon performing Elgar’s Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85 - I. Adagio. Moderato, with the London Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Antonio Pappano.
Have a great evening!
Less than four weeks until the annual New Year’s Concert from the Philharmonic of Vienna. Always a pleasure with rich people inside having champagne, and the poor outside watching it live on a big screen. On a positive note, our drinks never get warm.
Here's a video from last year’s performance with Riccardo Muti conducting the Freiheitsmarsch.
Jascha Heifetz playing Bach's Chaconne, the fifth and final movement of the Partita No. 2 in D minor for solo violin, BWV 1004.

A beautiful evening to everyone!
For this lunch break, I suggest Sviatoslav Richter's amazing performance of Chopin's Etude Op. 25, No. 11, "Winter Wind".
Let's start the day right with Ana Vidović playing Francisco Tárrega's Recuerdos de la Alhambra. Overwhelming talent and experience.
Luciano Pavarotti had his final public performance in 2006, at the Opening Ceremony of the Torino Winter Olympics, with "Nessun dorma" from Puccini’s Turandot.
I wish you all a peaceful evening!

This morning, I will deviate for a moment from my usual posts with a short video from Keith Jarrett's improvisation for the Norwegian Molde Jazz Festival in 1972. The entire 46-minute-long performance is called "Molde-72".
Before going to sleep, I'll shill a young organist, Jan Liebermann, while performing Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor at Lutherse Kerk, Groningen.
My only post for today, Nathan Milstein playing Paganiniana. It feels highly appropriate to describe this week.
I wish you all a great weekend!
