WYSIWYG
What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.
Menoizikul; Midweek Musicalisms
The second birthday composer this month is Pablo de Sarasate, born on the 10th of March, 1844, in Pamplona, Spain. He was a virtuoso violinist who also wrote some striking music for his instrument. I did find videos by Itzhak Perlman and Teo Gertler (aged 11 at the time, and 11th of March, baby) playing the Zigeunerweisen, but I have opted for this one. Given the dearth of female representation in the composing lists, let's go, yay for virtuosity in performance!

One of the most mesmerising violin renditions I ever heard was the title music of the movie 'The Fiddler on the Roof.' This violinst here is as mesmerising as that. Fantastic.

ReplyDeleteit reminds me somehw of the theme of the godfather... maybe the movie muzak maker borrowed some tunes`?
ReplyDeleteI love it! I just spent an hour putting old songs from the 30's and 40's on YouTube playlist for Bob. 6 of them were alto sax instrumentals of the old romantic songs.

ReplyDeleteHaving played the violin for many years (Got to grade 7 of 10 at RCMT), I know how VERY difficult that piece is...it's for virtuosos! Not me! It is lovely to hear it though.
ReplyDeleteI miss live music. I miss singing.
