You might need more than one type, it's better to ask your wife exactly what she needs. Eg: the saucepan from stainless steel, cast iron for heavy-duty duty (Le Creuset is the best in my opinion), and so on. So ask Missus how you can make it right. 🥂

I'll leave today with a special interpretation on classical guitar, with Shiqi Zhou performing Sergio Assad's "Sonata For Guitar Solo: II. Andante".

Jean Sibelius' Valse Triste with Herbert Von Karajan conducting the Berlin Philharmonic.

It might be my only post for today, so I wish you all the best!

Let's say our goodbyes today with Raphael Attila Vogl playing Jean-Philippe Rameau's "Les Cyclopes". Recorded in the magnificent Liebfrauenmünster, Ingolstadt.

I wish you all a beautiful evening!

Yes, it was, thank you for letting me know. I re-uploaded.

It seems that somehow I (inexcusably) skipped Wagner, so here I am fixing it.

Herbert Von Karajan conducting Richard Wagner's Tannhäuser Overture with the Berlin Philharmonic. Divine!

(Re-uploaded the correct video.🤦)

Although, at least for the first time I should write its complete name, "Tannhäuser und der Sängerkrieg auf Wartburg".

I will definitely take it into account. 🫂🥂

🫂 and big thanks for supporting!

I start the New Year with Leonard Bernstein and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, which are probably the biggest reasons for the existence of this npub, and wish you a great year.

I wish you all a great New Year with Händel/Halvorsen "Passacaglia" performed by Renaud Capuçon (violin) and Gautier Capuçon (cello).

I have the pleasure of closing the day with a page of jazz history, with Miles Davis' first European TV appearance, this being the oldest known footage with him performing.

It was filmed on December 7, 1957, for the French show “Au clair de la lune” and broadcast later on Christmas Day.

He's performing along with Barney Wilen (tenor saxophone), René Urtreger (piano), Pierre Michelot (double bass) and Kenny Clarke (drums).

I wish you all a beautiful evening and, just in case I won't be able to post tomorrow, a happy New Year!

Ivry Gitlis performing the Rondo finale of Paganini’s Violin Concerto No. 2 in B minor, "La Campanella".

While most people know it because of Liszt's piano transcription, this is how it was intended, written to sound like a small silver handbell. (When Liszt heard Paganini performing it in Paris, in 1832, he enjoyed it so much that he decided to transcribe it for keyboard.)

Evgeny Kissin plays Franz Liszt's Liebestraum No. 3 on Liszt's personal piano at the Liszt House in Weimar, which was his summer residence.

A beautiful moment in the history of jazz with Count Basie and Oscar Peterson playing Jumpin' At The Woodside.

It's part of a BBC4 special, from 1980 (link with the full show attached), where they perform together with Joe Pass (guitar), Niels Pedersen (bass) and Martin Drew (drums).

And with this, I wish you all a fine evening! 🥂

A leap back in time, to 1955, with Franco Corelli singing "E lucevan le stelle" from Puccini's Tosca. 👏👏👏

For this morning, I chose Shura Cherkassky playing the Godowsky-Albeniz Tango (a transcription by Leopold Godowsky of Isaac Albeniz's original work).

Have a great week!

Today I'll say goodbye with Ruggiero Ricci playing Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35 (Finale).

Have a great evening! 🥂

For today's "Jazz moment", Thelonious Monk's "Blue Monk" together with Charlie Rouse on tenor saxophone, Larry Gales on bass, and Ben Riley on drums, recorded live at the University Aula in Oslo during Monk's 1966 Scandinavian tour.

Today I visited (again) the Christmas Market in Antibes (South of France) and there was a Blues/Rock'n'Roll/etc concert.

This morning, watching the sea while waiting for the sunrise, "Cri de l'âme" feels right. Composed and performed by Roman Kim and accompanied by Jure Gorucan at the piano. And with this, I wish you all a beautiful day!

For today's goodbye, Hilary Hahn playing Bach's Partita for Violin Solo No. 1 in B Minor, BWV 1002 - 4. Double (Presto).

Have a great evening!
