Dvorak - Mazurek/Mazurka
Thx Sinner for the Dvorak/Humoresque
here another Dvorak masterpiece: Mazurek/Mazurka in E minor / the piano version with David Oistrach - I'm glad that I had the opportunity to visit 2 concerts with him shortly before he passed away.

Johann Adolf Hasse, on of the (missing) links between Bach and Haydn
He's still famous in Jirmeny, you'll find him in sayings like "Hasse mal 'n Euro" (that's hard to translate) or "Ich hasse dumme Witze" (I don't like stupid jokes).

Here is the pure irony of Maurice Ravel and his answer to the Vienna Waltz
Ravel's "La Valse" is finally a danse macabre and becomes faster and faster at the end.
I simply love this piece as it is thrilling, sparkling and has even a little Spanish touch with the use of castanets.

Okiedokie, here´s some Stravinskij - plus some Nijinskij and some Bakst.
Of course I´m talking about Le sacré du printemps (The Rites of Spring), that magnificent and totally scandalous ballet that premiered in Paris 1913, the music composed by Stravinskij, choreographed by Vaslav Nijinskij and costumes by Léon Bakst.
In a way you could say that this ballet was part of that immense wave of Wagnerism that swept Europe until World War I, since it is kind of a wagnerian Gesamtkunstwerk, and that´s why it´s important NOT to talk about it as only a piece of music by Stravinskij - choreography and costume are just as essential and just as groundbreaking.
Which lead us on to the next statement : This is not at all just another damned booring piece of early 20th century wagnerism - this is one of the truly defining works of aesthetic modernism !

Today here is another one of my favourite composers - Jean Sibelius.
His 5th symphony has this marvellous final movement with the very famous called "Swan-Theme"
Everytime when I listen to it there is this wideness and then the brass
starts to introduce this famous theme only 2 minutes after the movement started.
Without sounding philosophic but it feels even like wings are swinging.
It is just so beautiful :heart:

Gustav Mahler: I have lost touch with the world
Guys, yesterday I had a whole evening with songs of Gustav Mahler
and I want to share one of the most emotional pieces of the "Rueckert Songs".
These songs are based on texts of the German poet Friedrich Rueckert and have such a deep expression
and Mahler orchestrated these masterpieces with such an intimacy and beauty :heart:
I add an English translation which I find at least very close to the original.
It is of course very hard to translate a style of poetry but at least you know what the piece is about.
I am just so deeply touched every time when I listen to it and I regularly cry as I did today too.
This is the 5th and last piece of the "Rueckert Songs" with the title "I lost touch with the World".
It is like magic when the piece ends and you have this silence where you just get deeper and deeper into.
Hope you enjoy as well guys :heart:
I am lost to the world
with which I used to waste so much time,
It has heard nothing from me for so long
that it may very well believe that I am dead!
It is of no consequence to me
Whether it thinks me dead;
I cannot deny it,
for I really am dead to the world.
I am dead to the worlds tumult,
And I rest in a quiet realm!
I live alone in my heaven,
In my love and in my song!
P.S. Without sounding philosophical but didn't we all feel this way,
like having lost touch with the world sometimes?
