What music are you listening to?

Winter is here,

sobetter dance to warn up your body,
than burn woods.

 
... and it’s snowing 🥶

Aria Gallipolina (Caddhripulina)

 
I didn't want to think about dysfunction and social problems and agendas and all the rest.

I wanted to think about love....

I believe everyone seeks it; blessed are those who find it.

Total Eclipse of the Heart, with scenes from a Turkish tv serial. These are the compatriots of people abused on the streets of Germany and other European countries.

Shame...

 
I still listen to Bing too. :)

I'm one of those people who often has the All Christmas channel on when I'm driving.

Maybe I've spent too many years singing in choirs. :)

Like the newer versions too.

One of my absolute favorites: Mary, Did You Know. This version deserves every one of its 219 million hits.
 
e ahi, e ahi, e hai lu core meu, ... meu meu meu ... lu Cavaliere tou ...

(ouch, ... you have my heart ... your Knight ...)

And the angels played and sang...

Thank you. :)

Is this your favorite of the Ave Maria's? Do you even have a favorite?

You're welcome, Angela.


Probably it'so, I don't know if it's my number one, but it's certainly one of my favorites for inspiration and expressive power.

Nothing detracts from the beauty of the so-called Ave Maria by Schubert and Gounod, which however were not born as such: the first is actually the "Ellens dritter Gesang", the other is a re-adaptation of the first prelude of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier to which Gounod added the melody.
I will be banal, but a "Hail Mary" that is dear to me is the one traditionally attributed to Arcadelt, although it too is a rehash by a romantic French composer, Pierre-Louis Dietsch



Perhaps another piece that gives me emotions similar to those of Rachmaninov's composition is Lauridsen's O Magnum Mysterium.
The last bars really seem to come from another world... :)

 

Sublime

Had posted the same song, with a quote from Bukowski not long ago.
Really enjoyed this live rendition. Love Polovtsian Dances.
Found it: Page 80 post 1982.
Didn't see it before. Also a very good performance. Thanks!
