The idea that somebody looked at a purple onion and called it a red onion really bothers me.

Julia Fischer - Winter- movement.1°Allegro.(HD)


Julia Fischer, born in Munich, Germany, is of German-Slovakian parentage. Her mother, Viera Fischer (née Krenková), came from the German minority in Slovakia and immigrated from Košice, Slovakia to the Federal Republic of Germany in 1972. Her father, Frank-Michael Fischer, a mathematician who was born in East Germany, moved in the same year from Eastern Saxony to West Germany.

Fischer began her studies before her fourth birthday, when she received her first violin lesson from Helge Thelen; a few months later she started studying the piano with her mother, Viera Fischer. Fischer said, "my mother's a pianist and I wanted to play the piano as well, but as my elder brother also played the piano, she thought it would be nice to have another instrument in the family. I agreed to try out the violin and stayed with it."[2] She began her formal violin education at the Leopold Mozart Conservatory in Augsburg, under the tutelage of Lydia Dubrowskaya. At the age of nine Julia Fischer was admitted to the Munich Academy of Music, where she continues to work with Ana Chumachenco.

As a teenager she was inspired mostly by Glenn Gould and by Evgeny Kissin and Maxim Vengerov

If I didn't see this with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it.

I've played that instrument since I was 7 years old.

Vivaldi- Ottone in villa, RV 719: L'ombre l'aure, e ancora il rio



Aria: L'ombre l'aure, e ancora il rio

Ottone in villa (Ottone in the city) was the first opera by Antonio Vivaldi. Its catalogue number is RV 729. Ottone, classified as an Italian opera, was written in 1713. It was commissioned by the governor of Vicenza, Antonio Francesco Farsetti. The libretto was written by Domenico Lalli, pseudonym of Sebastiano Biancardi. The opera was premiered at the theater of the Garzerie, in Vicenza, on 17 May 1713.

Sypnosis:

The Holy Roman Emperor Ottone is in love with Cleonilla, who can't resist flirting with two courtesans, Ostilio and Caio. Ostilio is in reality a woman, Tullia, who disguised herself because she's in love with Caio. She plans to kill Cleonilla out of jealousy, but she first tries to dissuade her from her relation with Caio. Caio sees the meeting and misinterpret it as a romantic encounter. He warns Ottone, who commands him to kill Ostilio. Before he can execute the order, Ostilio reveals himself to be Tullia. Cleonilla claims to have always known it, to conciliate Ottone. He believes her and the opera closes with the marriage of Tullia and Caio.

Premiere Cast, May 17, 1713

Roles-
Cleonilla (soprano): Maria Giusti "La Romana"
Ottone (contralto) : Diana Vico
Caio Silio (soprano) : Bartolomeo Bartoli
Decio (tenor) : Gaetano Mozzi
Tullia (soprano) : Margherita Fazzoli

***All the singers listed directly above were the ones in the premiere cast.

Claron McFadden, soprano
Teatro Lirico
Stephen Stubbs, conductor

Vivaldi: Concerto pour 4 violons en si mineur - Pham/Gjezi/Darmon/Tudorache - OCNE/Krauze

Vivaldi, who was a priest faked a health problem so he could be excused from saying daily Mass.

He became so disconnected when he would suddenly feel, see, smell a melody, that he had to run into the Vestibule to write it down.

When you listen to the 3rd movement that starts at 6:10, it's easy to understand.

Pure genius.

Who could perform Mass with all that rolling around in your head?

If you're not familiar with Scarlatti you're in for a treat. 


Glenn Gould plays Scarlatti Sonata in D minor K 9 L 413

Glenn Gould was as fine a player of Scarlatti as any pianist in the world.  He was particularly renowned as an interpreter of the keyboard music of Johann Sebastian Bach.

Speaking of simplicity.  I found this piece on a compilation album called Simply Summer.

Picture lounging on a soft sand beach.  Before you, a light blue cloudless sky painted above a deep blue ocean. Small white triangles dot the heaving water in the distance.  A warm breeze embraces you as you turn and glance at your lover - her hair swirling in the wind, her lips red and inviting.  The sound of seagulls circle above and mix with the crashing waves that retreat into foamy stillness.  You draw her near, then caress her lips with a soft, lingering kiss.

I play this on the classical guitar.  Fell in love with it the first time I heard it.
