Rachmaninoff Sonata nr 2 Enrico Pace (1) Posted by: donthuis

Maria da Fé Fado's Posted by: donthuis
Video duration: 474 seconds Inside a 1987 Portugal promotion video on Dutch TV I found two beautiful fado's. Apparently she was en is a famous fado performer.

Chopin Préludes op 28 by Cortot completed Posted by: donthuis
Video duration: 623 seconds This is the last of Cortot's 1954 Chopin préludes op 28, completing my series. Because I jumped over nr 12 earlier, this time the maximum feature length prevented adding another one of his études. See for his études next time.

La Boheme with José Carreras and Teresa Stratas act 3 cont'd Posted by: donthuis
Video duration: 576 seconds Although Rodolfo and Mimi now know that the end of their relation is in sight, they pretend to part in the right spirit. "Only when flowers are back again and the snow gone" they'll part. The two aria's are full of love and forgiveness and their contrast with Marcello and Musetta argueing is particularly striking. Related: boheme, carreras, italian, la, opera, puccini, stratas |

La Boheme with José Carreras and Teresa Stratas act 4 Posted by: donthuis
Video duration: 614 seconds Three scenes after another: Rodolfo feeling the loss of his dearest, Mimi returning to him to die in his presence and the final cry "Mimi" after her death. The last part I included for the clever way Puccini orchestrated this moment, summing up the whole love story in one powerfull surge of emotion. Related: boheme, carreras, italian, la, opera, puccini, stratas |

Chopin prélude op 28 nr 24 by Pollini Posted by: donthuis
Video duration: 136 seconds Earlier version with its wrong final note now corrected and overall audio volume raised. Note: Slight audio "hickup" in the beginning may be the result of extra A/V synchronisation and enforced 4:3 video format being needed. Related: chopin, classical, piano, pollini, prélude, restored |

Chopin Etude and Prélude by Alfred Cortot Posted by: donthuis
Video duration: 337 seconds Alfred Cortot (1877-1962) was famous for his Chopin, Liszt and Schumann interpretations.

Cortot: Grande Polonaise Chopin (2) Posted by: donthuis
Video duration: 539 seconds The Grande Polonaise is coupled to the Andante Spianato. After the contemplative mood of the Andante the exuberance of this Polonaise makes for a lively contrast, well expressed in Cortot's rendering. Related: chopin, cortot, grande, klassiek, polonaise |

Chopin Prélude op 28 nr 2 from Autumn Sonata Posted by: donthuis
Video duration: 265 seconds Astrologists say: play Chopin full emotions on his sign of Pisces, or well above suffering on his Ascendant Virgo. Liv Ulmann and Ingrid Bergman seemingly portray both interpretations in Ingmar Bergmans somber 1978 movie "Autumn Sonata". (PS: old V2000 recorder unfortunately damaged this very old tape) Related: autumn, bergman, chopin, classical, ingmar, piano, prelude, sonata |

Ernani from the Scala in Milan (5) Posted by: donthuis
Video duration: 637 seconds The final scene from the last act in which Ernani loses Elvira and his life after all. Difficult to fit in 10 minutes, the horn of death had to be cut from the start of the scene! Related: bariton, domingo, ernani, freni, opera, soprano, tenor, verdi |

Ernani from the Scala in Milan (3) Posted by: donthuis

Trip to Portugal in 1983 (Sesimbra-Lisbon-Nazaré) Posted by: donthuis
Video duration: 619 seconds Shortened version of a Super 8 movie with Portugese songs added afterwards. Music is mostly by Linda de Suza (from "un Portugès") and some folk musicians, recorded in the same period 1983-1985. PS.

Cortot: Saint-Saens étude and Chopin Andante (1) Posted by: donthuis
Video duration: 570 seconds Alfred Cortot recorded works from other composers than Chopin, like Saint Saëns. Hereby an étude en forme de Valse from him. Of course I close with Chopin: the Andante Spianato, coupled to the Grand Polonaise to follow in my next video because of overall duration. Related: andante, chopin, cortot, etude, klassiek, saint-saens, spianato |

La Boheme with José Carreras and Teresa Stratas act 3 Posted by: donthuis
Video duration: 595 seconds A very moving scene in which Mimi tells Marcello she is desperate for believing Rodolfo jealous. However, Rodolfo expects losing her by her death approaching fast and upon Mimi overhearing this, emotions run high. A scene in which deepest love for each other and mutual despair are combined. Fatal destiny is pushing Mimi slowly to her grave.. Related: boheme, carreras, italian, la, opera, puccini, stratas |

Video duration: 587 seconds The king falls in love with Elvira, but she rejects him.

Video duration: 610 seconds Two aria's from the first act in the MET (1982) with Carreras as Rodolfo burning his play and poems for getting warm and Stratas as Mimi explaining who she is (sung after the famous Che Gelida Manina aria that can be found elsewhere).

Ernani from the Scala in Milan (4) Posted by: donthuis

Pavarotti in Rigoletto (excerpt 7) Posted by: donthuis
Video duration: 607 seconds The final scene in which Rigoletto triumphs in his revenge, but loses everything by Gilda's sacrifice. Hard to believe why she acts this way, but very moving in its dramatic effect. Related: gilda, opera, pavarotti, rigoletto, soprano, tenor, verdi |
