Wonderful film, must watch it again soon. Jacquou le Croquant
Bojana Panic is particularly attractive in it :)
Listening to Heather Nova on my mp3 player at work for the first time in a couple of months (been off sick) and wondering again what became of the exquisite cellist Nadia Lanman, found this on the German Heather Nova site:
Doubled Up
Apparently they played a few songs together but Nadia isn't up to playing professionally still and perhaps never will be.
Although a poor live recording it still underscores the skill of a wonderful cellist. She makes the song both joyful and tragic at the same time.
I'm not sure what I think about the song just yet, but I found the video terribly entertaining.

The link in the post above only seems to work with a lot of tinkering so here's a couple of others.
Heather is far prettier than anyone ought to be.

She stands before you naked
you can see it, you can taste it,
and she comes to you light as the breeze.
Now you can drink it or you can nurse it,
it don't matter how you worship
as long as you're
down on your knees.
So I knelt there at the delta,
at the alpha and the omega,
at the cradle of the river and the seas.
And like a blessing come from heaven
for something like a second
I was healed and my heart
was at ease.
O baby I waited
so long for your kiss
for something to happen,
oh something like this.
And you're weak and you're harmless
and you're sleeping in your harness
and the wind going wild
in the trees,
and it ain't exactly prison
but you'll never be forgiven
for whatever you've done
with the keys.
O baby I waited ...
It's dark now and it's snowing
O my love I must be going,
The river has started to freeze.
And I'm sick of pretending
I'm broken from bending
I've lived too long on my knees.
Then she dances so graceful
and your heart's hard and hateful
and she's naked
but that's just a tease.
And you turn in disgust
from your hatred and from your love
and comes to you
light as the breeze.
O baby I waited ...
There's blood on every bracelet
you can see it, you can taste it,
and it's Please baby
please baby please.
And she says, Drink deeply, pilgrim
but don't forget there's still a woman
beneath this
resplendent chemise.
So I knelt there at the delta,
at the alpha and the omega,
I knelt there like one who believes.
And the blessings come from heaven
and for something like a second
I'm cured and my heart
is at ease.

The lovely Carol Decker has a superb voice and is as good live as recorded.

Carol occasionally pops up at my brother in law's, although I have never met her, a situation that hopefully may change one day.

Not only can these women sing like angels, they look damned good with it.
However the most astounding one has to be an American singer.
I have to point out that I despise talent shows/reality TV and most other TV too, and only stumbled over this as it was mentioned in the comments on one of the previous singers offerings but this girl has the most incredible voice, you wouldn't believe it could emanate from such a tiny person.
She is so pretty and unspoiled too, I do hope that fame doesn't spoil her as it seems to with so many others.

Peer Gynt was the firs LP I bought - the first record at all.
Our maths teacher used to play classical music at the Thursday assembly - the only ones I attended, didn't bother turning up for the others.
Peer Gynt was one of my favourites and I bought it from my paper round money (I was 13 at the time).
I think that that was the best recording I have heard but it is long gone now. None of the replacements quite match that firs one.
Peer Gynt gets a bad press for the "Hall Of The Mountain King", overused and mostly misused.
My two standout tracks are

And then basically, anything by Florence and the Machine, who are just now becoming popular in the US - good for you guys!

Yes, yes it was. I even saw a nice lounge-style-on-a-keyboard version on the Youtubes that made me lulz goodly during the last Christmas season.
I was in a D&D game, where someone insisted we all get on this caravan together, and I said, "No thanks, I've a horse just outside," insisting I'd ride along side the caravan rather than divest myself of my steed.
A tablemate then showed me this song, and since then, it's been the go-to phrase for us as a troupe...

The words of this popped into my head yesterday.
This was a favourite of my father's and it is more than likely that it is still in his 'radiogram' that my daughter rescued when my mother died.
I think it was on the only 10" LP that I have ever seen. (Not enough songs for a 12")
This was posted on another forum this morning, never heard of them before, liking this a lot.

Very funny and educational. The Yeoman manages to insult just about everyone in the group.
I used to be on a Polly Harvey site a lot, when it was really active, died the death now and I believe everyone has migrated to MySpace - not going there.

I'm revising that position now - sorry for the racket at the end.

Actually watching her "Dream With Me In Concert" DVD.
Since finding her on YouTube I have spent far too many hours watching/listening to her, she is just phenomenal. Wonderful when she was only ten years old she is becoming a very poised and graceful young woman with the potential to develop in any direction she chooses.
Watched her in the Robert Redford film "The Company You Keep" and she showed a lot of promise as an actress if she chose to follow that path.

Bit of an acquired taste perhaps but with familiarity is superb.
Still Jackie Evancho, who has become something of an obsession.
Managed to acquire most of her material - will never manage her "Prelude To A Dream" CD as it is in very limited supple having been withdrawn when she was 10, due to unexpected improvements in her singing. It is still viable and a precious record of her beginnings. Now changes hands for around $1,000.
Her new CD, "Awakening" exceeds all expectations and the expectations were high, based on her previous achievements.
There is as yet not a great deal on YouTube from "Awakening" but there is a taster of the PBS concert, due to air Nov 29th. IIRC
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYxm45EFmJ8
Listening to "Awakening" now along with some material not generally available :o
She is just the most incredible person! Not just as a singer but her character is just as compelling.
András Schiff playing Bach piano pieces. Just right while I'm working or surfing the Web: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScS_s4Ay7uE
Clean Bandit's "Rather Be" is my current earworm - love this song!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-M1AtrxztU
Andras Schiff is great for Bach -- when I was like 12 or 13 he got me out of the "copy Gould's performances" idea and showed me another way.
As of three minutes ago, something I hadn't heard for years, namely Chick Corea's *Now He Sings, Now He Sobs* album. I remember I loaded it onto my 1GB mini (or micro) or whatever SD card in my phone -- I was into that tune "Steps" (well, the one in C minor). And this AM walking to get some beer was like "fahq! tunes would be good!" scroll down past Billy Preston, Booker T, and like hey Chick! I haven't heard the album since I was like 20 years old.
I noted 3:25 off track 5 from Chick's *Now He Sings,...* album. But even just off "Matrix" from the same album.
That is some crazy shit. I've been hearing this since whenever, but sometimes it appears that Chick, not only having crazy-good technique, could throw down. I've been hearing this album since I got hip, ca age eighteen, and this inspires me to go back to basics, do some technical stuff.
Just listened to David Sedaris's "SantaLand Diaries." The perfect antidote to forced holiday merriment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu8QfIC5fhI
Have been doing a few things half-assedly, mostly trying to remember (without consulting the scores/transcriptions) Bud's "Un Poco Loco" (the montuno is a killer to keep going and improvise over -- I just decided to do it like I do math....repeatedly, until it sinks in) and, yesterday, plinking around with the "friska" from Liszt's Hungarian 2.
It's good, on the latter, to just simplify a bit, (and reimagine the work in the enharmonic Db-minor, rather than C#-minor, because, after all, we are not guitar players). Yeah, I think it's just kind of an improvisational show-off piece -- fidelity to the score is not important, but overall effect is.
this. Literally just now, catching up with Jim Alfredson and his new tribute album to Big John Patton.
That fucking blew me away just noticing the guitar kid -- what is he like still in HS? And playing like a boss? And copping Grant Green's thing, just for the authenticity? Shit. I'm always a fan of Jim on Hammond organ, but he's closer to my own age, so I can understand the time he spent learning the stuff. I can't understand that kid on guitar, though.
Oh yeah, a buddy hipped me to Alicia De Laroccha doing the Notturna from Grieg's Op. 54 and his piano sonata. Nice. I'd forgotten about her. I was never a Grieg man, but apparently I was wrong.
Still continuing the Jackie Evancho obsession.
