It might be only my impression, but it seems to be a recent trend among organists to play Umberto Tozzi's "Ti amo". Here, performed by Constanze Hochwartner.
And with this, good morning! 🥐☕
I wish you all a beautiful weekend with Vivaldi's Winter, together with Anne-Sophie Mutter Violin and Herbert Von Karajan. (1987)
For today's lunch break, Khatia Buniatishvili performing Chopin's "Revolutionary Etude". She's just great! 👏
Some of you might find this more "out there". Fazıl Say's own work, and most famous, called "Black Earth".
Have a good day!
I say goodbye in today's spirit, with Menahem Pressler playing Debussy's Clair de Lune. The older I get, the harder it hits.
Have a peaceful evening!
Probably it wouldn't be right if I didn't post it performed by Wladyslaw Szpilman, too (see "The Pianist").

To set the mood, I'm travelling by train and listening to Menahem Pressler absolutely mastering Chopin's Nocturne in C Sharp Minor.
Have a beautiful day!
I'll end the day as I started, probably with a bit of melancholy. While it's a short performance, I have it on repeat for some time and I want to share it with you.
Grigory Sokolov playing Griboyedov's Waltz No. 2 in E Minor.
Have a beautiful evening!
For today's lunch break, I propose Martina Filjak playing Ravel's "Une barque sur l'ocean". Not the most popular piece but some of you might enjoy it.
I wish you all a beautiful day like Wagner's Prelude to Lohengrin, conducted by Sir Simon Rattle.
I wish you a great day with Clint Mansell's Lux Aeterna (from the film "Requiem for a Dream", 2000).
The Metropole Orkest and Nederlands Concertkoor led by Vincent de Kort (conductor) and Louis Buskens (choir director).
I tell you goodnight with Vladimir Ashkenazy playing Frédéric Chopin's Prelude, Op. 28 No. 4. (Chopin asked for this tragic piece to be played at his funeral, making you hear his heart fading away.)
For lunch break, I'll continue with opera. Renée Fleming sings Salome's aria "Il est doux" from Massenet's opera Herodiade, and even if it's not the best recording, I still think it's worth mentioning. (2003)
Let's begin the week with absolute beauty.
Mario Lanza singing "Vesti La Giubba" (from his last film, "For The First Time", 1958).
A peaceful Sunday with "Hab mir's gelobt" from Strauss' "Der Rosenkavalier".
Kiri Te Kanawa, Anne Howells, Aage Haugland and Barbara Bonney with Orchestra and Chorus of the Royal Opera House, conducted by
Georg Solti.
Guys, when you see me posting stupid stuff, let me know.
Sometimes I upload the wrong video, sometimes my English proficiency tricks me, and sometimes I am next to hallucinations.
Most of the time I get it immediately after posting, so I delete & correct later, but sometimes it just flies about my head.
Have a great Sunday!
If you don't know what to listen to, my suggestion for today is Yehudi Menuhin performing Brahms' Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 77.
Off the usual path, I present to you "Sexy Tango" with Mauro Caiazza and Daniela Kizyma.
Who remembers this 1994 moment, with The 3 Tenors, singing O Sole Mio?
👏👏👏
