Mediterranean Sundance - Al Di Meola

like this whole album.
Choir of Trinity College - Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) [The Elephant Man]
Today's Classical Corner... which has appeared here in the past, but this time presented vocally, not in an orchestral setting.
Without further adieu, here is an immensely beautiful choral adaptation of Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings, composed in 1936! Agnus Dei is Barber's vocal arrangement of his own earlier composition Adagio for Strings (the 2nd Mvmnt his String Quartet, Op. 11).
Get ready for shivers. Just as in the great D. Lynch film.
Another side note which could urge on yet more goodbumps: This was sung at JFK's funeral.
Shostakovich. Piano Concerto No. 2 in F major Op.102. Movement II: Andante
Good morning, beautiful people.

it's nice to see i was missed. Southern Spain indeed is unbelievably beautiful!
Have a blissful day...

Roxy Music - Same Old Scene
with this bit of good nostalgia, i bid you all a goooooooooooooood night!
Biber - Sonata à 7
Today's Classical Corner... Biber who?!!!
Although this composition features a bunch of Champion League wannabees, Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber von Bibern (1644-1704) was actually one of the most important composers for the Violin in the history of the instrument! that's right... :)
Highly accomplished, affluent composer (also of Vocal and Sacred and...), seldom traveled, surprisingly not well known... worthy of everyone's ears, i dare say!

Gustav Mahler: Kindertotenlieder (B. Walter, direttore - K. Ferrier, con...
Today's Classical Corner... softly oppressive, . and strong, particularly when you know of its background!
Wiki: The original Kindertotenlieder were a group of 428 poems written by Rückert in 1833–34[1] in reaction to the illness (scarlet fever) and death of two of his children. Karen Painter, associate professor of musicology at the University of Minnesota, describes the poems thus: "Rückert's 428 poems on the death of children became singular, almost manic documents of the psychological endeavor to cope with such loss. In ever new variations Rückert's poems attempt a poetic resuscitation of the children that is punctuated by anguished outbursts. But above all the poems show a quiet acquiescence to fate and to a peaceful world of solace."[1] These poems were not intended for publication.
Mahler selected five of Rückert's poems to set as Lieder, which he composed between 1901 and 1904. The songs are written in Mahler's late-romantic idiom, and like the texts reflect a mixture of feelings: anguish, fantasy resuscitation of the children, resignation. The final song ends in a major key and a mood of transcendence. The cello melody in the postlude to "In diesem Wetter, in diesem Braus" (mm. 129 - 133) alludes to the first subject of the finale of Mahler's Third Symphony (1895/96), a movement titled "What love tells me" ("Was mir die Liebe erzählt"). "Musically, then, this is the last word of the Kindertotenlieder: that death is powerful, yet love is even stronger."
The poignancy of the cycle is increased by the fact that four years after he wrote it, Mahler lost his daughter, Maria, aged four, to scarlet fever. He wrote to Guido Adler: "I placed myself in the situation that a child of mine had died. When I really lost my daughter, I could not have written these songs any more."

John Coltrane, "Naima"
Today's Classic Jazz Corner… Trane!
A 1959 ballad, named after his then-wife, Juanita Naima Grubbs.
Coltrane passed away from liver cancer, at the young age of 40. Still, he was extremely influential, and especially known for complex chords, as well as being adapt at many styles. Deeply spiritual, he dabbled in many philosophies, and thru his music managed to reach us deeply. still does.

As young as I am, but a little more famous. :)
