Neville Marriner conducting the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields chamber orchestra in 2008.

Neville Marriner, Prolific Musician and Acclaimed Conductor, Dies at 92

Mr. Marriner, who established the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, was honored three times for his service to music in Britain.

Oh, that is sad Bubble. I have some of his works.

Now I didn't realize that he was that age.  Shows how fast time goes. I remember listening to him years ago.

 There's an interesting work by Leopold Mozart and some early works by Saint-Saens who has a birthday on Sunday, and Rossini. There is a short excerpt from one of John Barry's countless film scores and the programme concludes with classical arrangements of some familiar gospel songs which are quite delightful.

This program will be a delight, I must not miss it. 

I am here waiting for some great music from Don again.

Hi Gloria. All set up and ready to go.

No news today: just me and the music.

Here I am too!

Hi Bubble

Parma... for me it is not Verdi, but  certainly is prosciutto, salted ham that has been cured by drying.

DON   you sure started out with a lively selection.

BUBBLE  there is a place in this town that makes prosciutto and it is wonderful. I sure do not buy it often but enjoy a sandwich on  fresh Jewish rye bread. Now I have myself longing for it.

I believe they are famous for their cheese as well (parmasan, parmagiano)

Yep, sure is the place for good food!
Gloria, I too suddenly feel for such a longing - prosciutto with melon!

with good music in the background of course

BUBBLE  odd all it takes is a mention of some food to make one long for it. I know I do not buy it often, quite expensive.

The Kissssss... Never heard it!

And now I am rapt... I wish we could see L. playing - but of course he never was on film at that time.

I am sure you would have seen a show for the ages and soared on the wings if ecstasy

I thought that Chopin piece started out so quiet for him  then wow there was that piano the way he always sounds. I once had the music for one of his Polonaises and I could not get my fingers that spread out to hit all the keys in some of the cords.  Made me wonder how big his hands were.

Gloria it was so quiet I had to check that it was even playing.

DON  sounds more gentle music that the ones when got older.

Ha ha ha Don!  "He composed in his life time..."   

I sure am glad he did not return from limbo to compose more!!!
That was Kreutzer of course./b]

The name reminded me of Tolstoy's book and then... more.

Ariadne, in Greek mythology, daughter of Pasiphae and the Cretan king Minos. She fell in love with the Athenian hero Theseus and, with a thread or glittering jewels, helped him escape the Labyrinth after he slew the Minotaur, a beast half bull and half man that Minos kept in the Labyrinth.
Here the legends diverge: she was abandoned by Theseus and hanged herself;
or, Theseus carried her to Naxos and left her there to die, and she was rescued by and married the god Dionysus known also as Bacchus.

I knew her only for the glittering thread she had with her   In class I had a friend called Ariane and she used to have a ball of string in her satchel.

Bubble that was an interesting link.
I love those mythological stories; they can be so complicated at times though

Layla Tov and Happy Thanks Giving!

DON  thank you for another wonderful afternoon.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving

Bob Dylan wins Nobel Prize for Literature.
