Good morning!
I will start the week without music, but with a silent footage of Giacomo Puccini playing the piano and composing at his home.

Bonjour!
It depends. Which one is the latest popular meme for you?
It was a long week! Let's "chill" with a leap back in time and watch Luciana Serra singing “Non piangete, o sventurati” from Rossini’s Aureliano in Palmira.

Tell this to some pros and form an opinion about your GF and her family. 😂
🤣😂 Good morning to you too! You chose violence! 🤣
I'm in the mood for Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings, so here we go.
This is footage from Seiji Ozawa International Academy in Switzerland, from 2015.

Hilary Hahn playing Bach's Adagio from Sonata No. 1 for Solo Violin
As a small side note, Bach wrote it shortly after his first wife, Maria Barbara, died unexpectedly while he was away, and this tragedy shaped the Adagio’s tone, making it sound more like a prayer.

And surprise! Now I have a more theatrical version of Puccini's "Lucevan le stele" from Tosca, still with Jonathan Tetelman, right on the roof of Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome, where this particular scene takes place. (See the quoted post.)

The best is to quote Odie directly.
"I work as a producer and singer in a vocal ensemble, and this is a recording of Våren by Edvard Grieg, arranged for 16 voices. Recorded at our latest concert in Stavanger Concert Hall.
My ensemble is called Valen Vokalensemble (8 singers), and we did this concert in cooperation with Edvard Grieg Vokalensemble from Bergen (also 8 singers).
In former years of my career, I also used to play keys in a band, I might dig up some history in a later note.
After retiring from pop music in 2017, my main focus has been classical music and for the last five years, to build a professional vocal ensemble in my hometown."
You can see it on our instagram account. I’ve temporarily open it for downloads if you want to steal it… 😄

Sorry about the bad UX on nostr. May I ask what app you use for compressing video before uploading?
PS: There's no need to open it for download; there are third-party options for that, even for people who don't have Instagram.
Do you mind if I upload it from my account? If not, let me know who I should tag besides you, Richard and Bugle News.
Sol Gabetta, Cello, and Polina Leschenko, Piano, playing Frédéric Chopin's Étude, Op. 25, No. 7 in C-Sharp Minor.
Have a beautiful evening!

Sabine Devieilhe as Lakmé and Ambroisine Bré as Mallika in "Duo des fleurs" from Delibes's Lakmé.
Q: Would anyone be interested if I added in the posts, at least once in a while, the songs as text in the original version (when in French, Italian or German) with the English translation?

What's great content for some people, will be zero for others. I made this side account for classical music because I consider it beautiful, not because I want popularity, and I enjoy my few genuine followers.
During his life, Luciano Pavarotti held quite a few charitable concerns. This footage is from a 2001 event when he sang, together with Tom Jones, "Delilah". This specific event was dedicated to raising funds for the Palestinian kids.

Them: “where did you find your favorite classical music account?”
Me: “ nostr:nprofile1qqsdwyq0ncc8njuq803zdcvcy6dln25dre6hd4lmufaqpx36z7qtugspz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcq3vamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wv9a85ctdduhxuet50ktj5a reposted it on NOSTR”
Them: “why can’t you ever be serious?”
🤣😂 You made my day in more than one way!
