I am pretty sure this recording is included in the following box, which I am perhaps one-third of the way through listening as of early last year. The box has many recordings by her so it is good I have the box since I did not have a single recording by her ...

I enjoyed waking up and listening to this family new Joyce DiDonato album, EDEN. I'm looking forward to the vinyl release later this month. This modern piece by Rachel Portman is my favorite. Not sure if vocal music or modern composers are allowed in this thread...

Wow. He's not making things easy for himself by playing the Ravel and Scriabin back-to-back. Maybe he'll play Balakirev's "Islamey" for an encore!
On the turntable: Still going through my latest thrift store haul from last weekend. This was a nice find. Good sound quality and I like the performance. He takes it at a rather slower pace than I'm used to hearing. Tschaikowsky / Christian Ferras · Herbert von Karajan · Berliner Philharmoniker – Violinkonzert D-dur Op.35 · Capriccio Italien Op.45 Deutsche Grammophon – 139 028 SLPM
Back to the music. Sinatra singing “September Song,” originally sung by Walter Huston as Peter Stuyvesant in the musical Knickerbocker Holiday. Music by Kurt Weill. Certainly deserving to be called a lied.

Two supremely excellent pasttimes! Just finished hearing Bruckner 1 from this cycle: I've had this from JPC for a while, finally some people from GMG pushed me to start the cycle.
The couple traveled from Husum to Amsterdam, where they married. They then joined a group of people recruited for a new settlement in the Hudson River Valley, 120 miles (193 km) upriver from New Amsterdam. The year of their marriage & voyage to America was 1639. Husum was under Danish rule during their time there. My ancestor was known as Jan Fransse. When he came to Amsterdam he added van Husum (from Husum) to his name. Over the centuries in America the name has mutated into a number of variations, in my case Van Hooser.
A few years ago I read Washington Irving's A History of New York, first published under the pseudonymn "Diedrich Knickerbocker", and found it quite amusing. It was the basis for Knickerbocker Holiday.
Peter Stuyvesant: You Can’t Keep a Good Ghost Down Peter Stuyvesant is quite a legendary figure in the US, the high school in NYC named after him has produced numerous Nobel Prize winners, probably more than any other high schools in the world. Even in death, there are all kinds of ghost stories about him ...

Now playing CD2 - Sonatas Nos. 4 - 6 from the following box for a first listen ... I also have the following much older box by Buchbinder
Makes complete sense now. Thanks for the explanation. My ancestors from my father's side came originally from Northern Germany (Oldenburg), so not that far from Husum. My mother's family always lived in the northeastern part of the Netherlands as far back as we can find records. My roots from both sides are therefore most likely Saxon.
