mint Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 Thank you. Have been laid up for a couple of days and I only get reception in the one room in the house. Looking forward to learning more about the operas of which I know nothing.BUT I daresay I can still play some of the pieces for piano that I used to play over and over again because I loved the counterpoint.

Patf Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Hoping your health improves Mint, and sorry you've been 'laid up'.Talking about counter point, I never mastered the first variation , though I kept trying!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEkXet4WX_c&t=350sAlways get a shock when he goes into no.2.

mint Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Haven't had time to listen to your latest offering but will be able to do so tomorrow evening.Meanwhile, heard some of this programme in the car on the way home from the kiné so couldn't pay it full attention but I think you'd enjoy it:[url]https://www.francemusique.fr/emissions/les-grands-entretiens/matthias-goerne-baryton-1-5-68544[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Thank you. A wonderful programme full of favorites of mine (I accompanied Anakreons Grab in the last recital before my stroke) and a very fine voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Not a music programme but a film about an orchestra, therefore doesn't strictly "belong" here. OTOH, can't think anyone else would be interested and, if they were, they know where to find us[:)]Was on France 2 (last night so Wed 23) just after 9 pm. The film is a drama called Philharmonia and is in 6 parts; first 2 episodes shown last night.I'd post a link but I found a number of links and wasn't sure which would "work" so I am leaving you to find the most appropriate.

NormanH Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I had started to watch, but to be honest I found it a bit.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 Yes, I know what you mean.......and I was just watching for the music and also to see how much of the dialogue I could follow.I must admit to being a bit of a camp follower when it comes to orchestras and all the stuff that takes place behind the scene. And you could say that I'd get more enjoyment from the sounds of an orchestra tuning up than being bent over the grand piano as shown in the first few minutes![:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mint Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 Apart from John Field, can you, off the top of your head, suggest some Irish composers that might interest me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 My own favourite is Stanford. You will certainly know some of the choral church music (if you don't let me know and I can post a few links)but there is quite a bit of orchestral music that is much less known:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM4QQo6SoWUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ_WqwRpE8whttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhHS23qczK8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IYtpAuuMGIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOrkiLpqKWI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mint Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 Thank you, dear, kind Norman[:)] I look forward to savouring each of your links a bit later.In the meantime, here is Joyce Didonato; the first time I have heard her sing this since the original proms on BBC TV[url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DXASK9-qKg[/url]Off topic for Irish music but can't resist posting you le spectre de la rose by JD (you know how I love these Berlioz songs)[:D][url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF8mds4VULE[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 I have déniché this young singer specially for you to listen to. She has a charm in her singing. Alas, not yet able to listen to your clips, have been with people all day.[url]https://www.francemusique.fr/musique-classique/raquel-camarinha-soprano-revelation-des-victoires-de-la-musique-classique-2017-31551[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I'm afraid JDD is a bête noire of mine.I feel she slithers up to the note in that affected way jazz singers do and she emotes externally rather than using the voice to express the feeling..The other girl's vibrato and strong Portugese accent were a bit off-putting too...Sorry and thanks for the links but they are not quite my cup of tea..[:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 I, on the other hand, have been thoroughly enjoying your Stanford links and can't now think why I didn't think of him myself[:D]Have had a lovely session of listening this evening and still have a couple more links to go......happy bunny, moi[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mint Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Probably not, Wools, but if he didn't listen to this one, he'll miss the lovely violin obbligato........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
