Can I ask how people get the pictures onhre?

 

Do you have to save them in Flickr or something or is there an easier way these days?

 

Because of storage limits/cost, we do not host images ourselves. Yes, you would need to host the images yourself at another website and embed the image here. You will find some instructions here:

Thanks Adjusta, good having you to fight alongside.

 

 

Hi,

 

I see you can watch a live performace of Einstein on the Beach in segments on Youtube : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLirLVoOHstO5pYKp_AiWAs9ullp4ieNSl

 

Will try and do that asap.

 

As an alternative, I thought I'd post this link to the complete work as a single video. I also rather like the visuals.

 

 

Edit: Nope. Mot a good alternative after all. The video is interrupted by adverts.

Try installing Adblock Plus. It blocks most intrusive ads, and if you want to allow some ads on some particular website, you can put that website on your Adblock whitelist - meaning, you can turn Adblock off on that site. And then later, if you want, you can turn it back on. For me, YouTube would be unwatchable without it.

I use Adblock Plus, but it was disabled for Youtube for some reason. Thanks.

George Frederic Handel - Lascia ch io pianga

 

I first heard this while watching the movie "The Antichrist" by Lars Von Trier. All in all, it was a pretty crap movie, but this piece made it worth it :)

There are probably plenty of versions of this, but I like this one best. (I'm an agnostic, too!) Sorry for the ad.

That was sublime. Really. Thanks for that.

 

It's an interesting piece, historically.

You can read about it here: Miserere (Allegri)

 

By the way, I didn't see any ads.

I have Adblock

Beautiful lady, beautiful voice. We are lucky she graced us with such wonderful music for so long.  :smitten:

In 1992 at La Scala in Milan, conductor Riccardo Muti rehearses
tenor Roberto Alagna and soprano Tiziana Fabbricini for a duet from
Verdi's La Traviata, Parigi O Cara. I'm not really sure I like what Muti
did with this, but it's still an interesting historical document.

I've cued this video to skip a rather long introduction in Italian by
Alessandro Baricco. But don't worry. You'll get to see him at the end.

Keep in mind that the soprano's character, Violetta Valery, is dying in
this scene, which is why the soprano sounds like - well, like she's dying.

One of my favorite operas.

This is a 1982 Italian film directed by
Jean-Pierre Ponnelle and starring
Ingvar Wixell, Edita Gruberová and
Luciano Pavarotti, with the music score
conducted by Riccardo Chailly, based on
the 1851 opera by Giuseppe Verdi with
libretto by Francesco Maria Piave.

Here's a Wikipedia article about this film.

This vid was posted on YouTube in 2017,
but if you find it's been taken down,
try one of these instead:

Not really classical or opera (more Russian traditional).  "Dorogoj Dlinnoju" sung by Manca Izmajlova. But it's good enough it belongs somewhere.
