Were you old enough to appreciate the significance?    

Hope I'm asking that correctly.....   :laugh:

Yes......I was just 7 but I remember seeing the Vatican and having a Coke at a cafe at St Peter's Square.....my dad was career USAF and we were on his 30day leave on the way to his next post in North Africa.....

While the world is starting to burn.....thought I'd bump this powerful Albinoni's rendition of Adagio in G Minor

Includes a beautiful slide show too!

NOTE: read the Cellist of Sarajevo its based on a true story of during the war in Serbia a man would walk out into the street and play this song on the cello every day each day for the amount of people who were killed in a mortar shelling this is the song he plays.

Truly beautiful and soothing.  Hope you find the time to enjoy it.

I prefer Chopin


Chopin: Polonaise No.6 in A flat, Op.53 -"Heroic"

I love Beethoven, but I'm more of a Chopin guy (I especially like his first Ballade), with Brahms and Rachmaninoff tied for number 2 in my book.

BTW, Helene Grimaud did a surprisingly good performance of Ballade No.1 when she was only about 17 years old (see youtube). 

Female pianists, BTW, are surging in our day. (Check out Valentina Lisitsa, probably the world's foremost Rachmaninoff pianist at this time.  She has a big following on Youtube, with a meteoric rise in the concert world after she made a self-funded CD with the London Symphony.  Her videotaped recording session of the 18th Variation of Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini is especially nice.)

For a period of time about forty years ago I used to come home from work, wash up, eat, and put on the Ninth.  Never get tired of hearing it.

My favorite Beethoven 9th was the 1963 by the Berlin Symphony Karajan at his peak IMO.



You Tube used to have the full 5th symphony Karajan rendition.  IMO was greatest live musical performance of anything, anywhere, anyhow.

Brought chills.

I caught the Rode violin concerto on the classical radio station today

http://weta.org/fm

I noted the time and checked the playlist for today at the above link.

It was raining steadily...and the roads had no shoulders double line forests and hills around Thurmont, Maryland....it was so relaxing. especially the 1st movement or 1st selection.

But I'm drawn more toward Vivaldi.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
