Probably not until spring. I'm on a grand jury which meets 3 days a month for the entire year. I'm missing so much work, my office doesn't want me taking off more than a day or two at a time.
A grand jury the story of that would last a few pints then we would be ready for music, see you next year.
While there is only one Greenwich Village and that is in NYC, there is Greenwich the city in the UK but there are more than one Soho's, one in London and the other in NYC. No doubt the one in London is far more famous ...
Listening to "Roland de Lassus: Biographie Musicale, Vol. II" performed by Singer Pur on Musique En Wallonie.
Still working my way through these two recordings...and probably will for the foreseeable future! (Along with some new purchases that should arrive shortly.)
Greenwich Village is part of London.All time throughout the world is based on Greenwich meantime from the observatory based there, the NY one was named after it. As was the NY Soho. There is no Greenwich city in the UK
I'm afraid I find his playing cold and bright. Maybe this is partly due to the piano he uses, I don't know.
First listen to "Bach - St. Matthew Passion" with the New York Philharmonic from "Leonard Bernstein Edition - The Vocal Works" on Sony. Edit - Arrived from JPC with outstanding packing.
The only Greenwich village (other than the NYC neighbourhood) I can find, is this: Greenwich village,London. - Greenwich, London Traveller Reviews - TripAdvisor When I search for Greenwich (with its own market) I get this: Greenwich - Wikipedia
Fritz Wunderlich, man, is one of those guys... I’m really not that big of a fan of opera or lied, but his voice is just amazing. I’ve never heard anyone sound quite like him. Such powerful yet effortless singing. Too bad he died so young, in 1966 because of a stupid household accident. But recently I read an article written about someone who knew him and apparently he already felt burned out at that young age of 36, and was considering retirement. So I guess if he himself considered he was already done, I’ll go along with it and say just “bless him”.
This is what I found in the American Heritage Dictionary Green·wich 1. ( grµn“¹ch, gr ¹n“¹j) A borough of Greater London in southeast England on the Thames River. It is the site of the original Royal Observatory, through which passes the prime meridian, or longitude 0 °. 2. ( grµn“¹ch, gr ¹n“-, gr ¶n“w¹ch”) A town of southwest Connecticut on Long Island Sound near the New York border. Settled in 1640, it is mainly residential. There is also the town Greenwich in my state ...
Not sure if I have any of his recordings on LP though I am pretty sure I do not have any of his CD's ...
I know this isn’t classical, but this is the classical and conversation thread I thought to myself, why not. This is Friedrich Gulda, after all. Just stumbled upon this video which doesn’t have that many English-speaking comments, surely because it’s in German. But I had a blast watching it. It’s basically Gulda explaining the blues to a German TV presenter in the ‘60s. He slowly builds up a blues tune by just playing the chords, then adding more complex harmonies, voicings, bass and drums. Along the way, he asks the presenter to count along, exclaiming in the middle “Which measure are we in?” — “I don’t know” the presenter shouts back — “Haha, wouldn’t it be funny if the musicians didn’t either?”. At the end, he mentions the title, Billie’s Bounce, then translates it into German as “Wilhelms Sprung”. Pretty hilarious.
I feel you have to take these kind of comments with a dose of salt. All performers get fed up at some point with the music biz. I suspect he was inebriated at the time he fell. Stairs are the most dangerous part of any house or building.
