A beautiful combination of trumpet and organ is one of the highlights of the
programme preceded by a very pompous opening by Offenbach. Faure pays homage to a
French playwright and an orchestral transcription of Chopin's music brings our programme to a gentle conclusion. I hope you join me.

DON  I am looking forward to your program today. Sure missed it the last few weeks. Of course I will enjoy the last selection of Chopin.

Hi Gloria; it's nice to have you back.

All primed and ready to go.

DON  good afternoon. I am here ready and waiting to enjoy. Great to be here once again.

What a lovely day. Sunny, breezy, good music, good company. Hi all!

Splendid to be here all together

Hi MarsGal, Hi Bubble

so lively today!

After these critics on Tchaikovsky, I plan to listen to the whole Violin concerto in full, I love it so

Unusual combination  this  Trumpet and organ, but so enjoyable.  Thank you for introducing this one.

Bubble I was captivated the first time I ever heard it.  That recording by the way, was not a cd; it was vinyl which I bought almost 40 years ago.

That Alfven rhapsody sounded so familiar ... until I remembered that it is the music of a French song my mother was particularly fond of.  Unfortunately I don't remember the words, nor the name of the woman singing it.

I am so enjoying all of today's selections.

DON  wow an old vinyl record so old still sounded great.

Gloria that one is in exceptional condition, but the first one I played (#1) had a terrible amount of surface noise on it.

Nice program again today.

Lovely ending.  Layla tov!

DON  thank you for the best Sunday afternoon I had in 3 weeks without my computer. I enjoyed everything you played.

There is nothing I appreciate more than an appreciative audience;  thank YOU!

 

I was gone sunday also. Missed it again.
Bubble. Like you that Tchaikovsky Concerto is a favourite. Like Don I also have a Vinyl copy. has to be 40years old.  I hung on to all my Vinyl Collection and Still have my beautiful Player. Bought it in 1971, It plays and sounds just perfect still. Managed to get it cleaned and a new needle last year.  Have all the shows I saw back then. All on vinyl.  All the Lloyd Webbers

Vinyl is coming back big now. Have lots of collectors here in Town.

The Thérémine played by Katica Illenyi.  This is one of the oldest electronic musical  instrument invented in 1919 by the Russian   Lev Sergueïevitch Termen.
It is composed of an electronic box with two antennas.
Its particularity is that it is producing the music without being touched by the musician.

I hope you'll enjoy its sounds.

Now I know where they got those weird spacey sounds on the old SciFi movies.    Pretty neat , Bubble. Thanks for sharing.

And I believe the Theramine is used for the music on Midsomer Murders a PBS Mystery Series.  They did a segment on how they chose that for the music.  Neat!

Not classical music, but this little guy is so cute and he really can sing.

There's a nod to Wagner whose birthday fell this past week and another Dutch treat compliments of Radio Netherlands. The collaboration of Charpentier and Moliere makes for a delightful interlude as does the vocal presentation the 11-year old wunderkind Jackie Evancho. And of course, you can all sing along with Rach's Vocalise. And as a reminder, there will be no broadcast next Sunday. That's a holiday weekend and on such occasions the station suspends all quality programmes.
