Well, you've read the notes, the notes had one breast at a time, and now it is time for you to post until the one breast at a time cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: BRAINIAC!
-
Topic of the Day:
The Visit
Zorba the Greek
These are the only movies of his that I've seen. ::)
-
Have a good day, all!
-
Really enjoying Tristan und Isolde (Tristan and Isolde for those needing a translation) - lush music, great performances, and Karl Bohm is a wonderful conductor. And because I enjoyed the Strauss so much, I'm getting Rosenkavalier and Elektra to see what those are like, but would love other Strauss and Wagner suggestions.
-
One might almost say that the recording of Salome is outré.
-
I adore Rosenkavalier. I don't know the others so much.
I don't know a lot of Wagner. I once took a course on Parsifal, culminating in attending a performance at the Met, which was amazing. I remember watching the Ring when it was broadcast on 4 successive nights on PBS back in the - must have been late 1980's.
-
Good morning, all!
-
Bad night of sleep. I awoke around 12:30 with a sore throat, dry mouth, and sinuses clogged. I used a nasal spray, took a Tizanidine, and went back to bed. I had a lot of dreams, but I only remember bits of the last one.
-
DR vixmom, I asked several friends to post on my Facebook timeline because too many FB friends seems to ignore the information and I wanted the information that I was offsite until Dec. 30 posted several times. So far, there's been only one from, I think, four requests.
-
BK, give Braunfels' Die Vogel and Weinberger's Schwanda a chance.
I slept through most of one of Birgit Nillson's last performances of Tristan und Isolde at the Met. The music is lush and it's a total bore to watch. I find that true of most Wagner and Strauss operas. Der Rosenkavalier could lose forty-five minutes to an hour and I would be happier.
-
DR singdaw, I knew Jack Gottlieb rather well. He was a good man, but really neurotic, perhaps from being bullied by Maestro Bernstein too many times. I did not know the Urquhart person you asked about, and I only met Craig a couple of times.
-
I will do the laundry this morning, and that will take about three hours out of my life.
-
Good morning, all.

Thank you, my dear. It's greatly appreciated.

I have begun the laundry and picked up yesterday's mail.

Oh my. A Strauss and Wagner opera newbie. I think BK is in for a fun ride here, kids.
That Nillson SALOME recording is the one I first listened to in 1973 to get familiar with the opera. It was also my introduction to the sound of a Solti/London recording, my impression being that they were indeed kind of wild and wooly. (My second one was the Mahler Eighth.) My next recording of it back then was the Leontyne Price one with (I think) Leinsdorf.
Digression: The one time I heard Price in person was in 1986, a year after she'd retired from regular performing, when she sang the Final Scene from SALOME at the Ravinia Festival. I went backstage to say hello to Levine, and found myself standing there with William Warfield and Price and Seiji Ozawa who had also attended. That was a fun time.
-
My very first Strauss opera had been ARIADNE AUF NAXOS, and even with that under my belt, SALOME was quite the departure. Now, the shorter SALOME and ELEKTRA are my first favorites, and ROSENKAVALIER and ARIADNE are my other two. I never learned any of his others.
Agree with DR Elmore about ROSENKAVALIER being overly long. Opera companies do take standard cuts in some things, but I don't know if this one has ever had the scissors taken to it.
I think ARIADNE, in part due to its structure, has a special magic. I grew up on the RCA Leinsdorf recording with Roberta Peters and Jan Peerce, but I'm sure there are many other great ones, of this and all the others.

I didn't know you knew Levine. Did you know Tom as well? I knew their cousin Barbara.

I've always wanted to see the orignal Ariadne auf Naxos with Moliere's Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme and Strauss' incidental music as the first act. I have the vocal score, which has an even more difficult aria for the coloratura. I always hoped City Opera would stage it.

Oh my. I've referred to my years in Cleveland so many times that I'm assuming I've talked about playing and studying under him through those years, but perhaps not. Hell, I know where the bodies are buried. In spite of all the mishegoss, which I've stayed clear of for years, he's my musical mentor if I have to choose just one.
I met Tom on a few occasions, and he was a super nice guy, but I don't think I saw him once they'd moved to NYC. The name Barbara sounds familiar, but I can't put a face to the name. I'm vaguely remembering a sister, but his parents were the real familiar faces back then.

I played piano in that incidental suite in those school years, and it's a real favorite.

Thursday morning greetings! I have a great deal of puttering to do today, including making party favors for a luncheon that I
1) am not attending, and
2) think should not even be taking place.
-
Wow - I listened and watched the Grand Ol' Opry all the time when I was little, and I have never heard of any of these songs or people.
-
There is a movie OnDemand right now.....Mr Anthony Quinn in something called FLAP from the 1970's that is embarrassing to behold......almost as much as that movie R.P.M. wherein he played a radical college professor/administrator who got mixed up with his feminist student Ann-Margret. They spent most of there time riding around on his Triumph motorcycle......
-
It was from 1970 - she must have been a graduate student.....
-
The laundry is nearly put away. Thatch is lying on the bath towel and I do not want to disturb him.
-
I wish I could use my phone video. Thatch is reacting to the warm laundry as if it were a mega-dose of catnip. Maybe it's the Bounce laundry sheets? He is so damned adorable.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Two!
-
So, JRAND, you’re more familiar with Dolly Parsifal?
-
No groaning at HHW, folks.
-
I just saw my first two Strauss operas this year, thanks to the Met: Elektra and Rosenkavalier. The latter is too long. Strauss said so himself after he conducted a performance that left him exhausted.
Elektra was great. And 95 minutes or so.
-
I’ve only seen Parsifal and Die Meistersinger from the Wagner canon. I own The Ring on disc, but I haven’t taken the necessary 28 hours to watch it.
-
Waiting to see the dentist.
-
A Stella ornament!
-
I’ve got nothing to add to the opera discussions.
-
They hurt my ears
-
Both ELEKTRA and SALOME are a great one-act length.
I've watched others on video, but the two productions I've attended live were the Sir Peter Hall staging of SALOME at L.A. Opera -- with Maria Ewing, who went the last mile with the last veil -- and the Met's 1994 production of ELEKTRA. And there were a couple of concert performances somewhere along the way.
You really have to "be there" to hear these live to get the full impact of the orchestration. It's like The Rite of Spring, which used to be my benchmark in that respect. I'm doubtful that any recording has yet captured the full sound and the feel of the orchestra in these pieces.
Sorry, I didn't warn that this post could be harmful to vixmom's ears. :)
-
A Stella ornament!
Wow, no kidding!
-
I never feel like I know Anthony Quinn from too many things.
ZORBA THE GREEK, first and foremost. And then LAWRENCE OF ARABIA and REQUIEM FOR A HEAVYWEIGHT. I saw his HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME as a kid, but I have scant memory of that.
I guess I'll be watching for him when I get the Fellini set, eh?
-
Good afternoon!
-
LOL DR JOHN G - maybe Reba McIntire could sing Madame Butterfly......
-
I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep.
-
I met Anthony Quinn briefly at a press conference when he was touring with Zorba. He and Lika Kedrova were both way too old for their parts, and it didn’t matter. They could hold an audience in their hands. All you had to do was go along for the ride.
I think they were hungry for work and for applause or that connection with an audience.
He was really good in Lust for Life, Viva Zapata, Guns of Navarone, La Strada.

Good Afternoon! My work day is over and I'll be off to teach a guitar lesson in a few minutes.
In apartment news.... So, the kitchen is almost done, the bathroom is put away, I think I have one more box of kitchen stuff. I moved the hutch into place, got rid of some of the boxes - it’s slowly coming together. Still needs to feel like home. When everything is put away, I can decorate for Christmas, which I'm looking forward to doing. The boys are doing well. I think they like the extra space to run around in.

We have a soul food place in the area called 3 Pigs. It's one of my favorite restaurants. It's definitely my go-to for fried chicken.

I've got three Quinn films:
ZORBA THE GREEK
THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME, which I loved as a kid
ULYSSES, the Kirk Douglas Italian epic.

I've tried to find a home video release of that HUNCHBACK for years, but the only things out there appear to be bootleg DVDs. I wonder if there are ownership issues preventing a release, or if this film somehow fell into the public domain. This was definitely a known film when we were kids.

Yes, Salome is under 100 minutes, where as the Wagner is close to three hours.

Vixmom, where you still looking for a dutch oven? The discount on this one is fairly amazing, somewhere in the neighborhood of 75% off.

Three!

Yes, JRAND. Please.

Not closer to four?

I don't think either version has an English soundtrack.
-
Interesting!

And then I checked eBay! Bingo!

-
DR Elmore is on the case!
-
And now I see that it had been released on laserdisc. But we don't need no steenkin' laserdisc.
-
So, that's a Korean DVD. Which might be fine.
But I'm looking at that eBay dealer who's sold 168 copies of that, and multiple copies of other titles on Korean DVD, most of which are things available right here. So my question would be if he bought one of each and is just churning out copies.
Not that that would necessarily keep me from buying one of them.
Hmm...

Tonight is time for Elf, Buddy's Musical Christmas.

Almost finished with Tristan - that love music is stunning.
-

1988, with Norman and Battle? Definitely.
-
Been getting the music cues for the playlet, so that's all coming along.
-
I guess I should think about dinner.
-
Wow, lots of good stuff coming up. How about Mahagonny followed by Versailles on the 12th and 13th? I mean, for those who don’t already own them.
-
Here, I did find this, so enjoy - the entire opening number of The Pearls of Cleopatra. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARm_wrXSDMM

Will do.

DR Jrand I was just told there are hospitals in Indiana that have had to turn ambulances away. I hope they aren't near you, and that you have no reason to go near a hospital.
-
Watching the version of Christmas Carol with Reginald Owen, Ann Rutherford, a very young June Lockhart and her dad, and a Franz Waxman score. I have an acquaintance who swears by this version. i find it a little too Hollywood.

Time for Johnny Cash's 1979 Christmas special.
-
One of the special guests is Tom T. Hall, a Kentucky songwriter that Dad got to interview at some point way back when. It was one of his favorites. I think the other was bluegrass legend Bill Monroe.

Let's get off this page.

One more ...

Four!

Interesting. What exactly did your father do that he was interviewing music legends?
-
One of the main people that takes care of our condo complex has been diagnosed with covid :( I hope he will be ok.
-
The report is that he seems ok. I don't know when he was tested that the results just came back today. He became ill on Thanksgiving. That explains why we didn't see him this week.
-
We think he is as old as we are, or just looks older as he is out in the sun all day. He is very fit and active, and a super nice guy and hard worker.
-
That is quite an opening scene, bk! Thanks for sharing the link.
-
Funny link earlier, DR John G. Thanks for sharing.

Love that ornament, DR elmore3003!

He wrote for a magazine that went out to the customers of the rural electric companies in Kentucky. They did stories on just about anything, as long as it was Kentucky. When I was in college, I did two stories for them, too. One was on Rosemary Clooney, whom I interviewed five or six times.
-
Gratuitous post No. 100!
-
I just finished watching The Shop Around the Corner. Lubitsch, Jimmy Stewart, Christmas. Just a beautiful movie. I didn't have a copy of it until recently. Glad I can watch it whenever.
-
While the movie was on, I put together my first gingerbread house. It looks OK, but the frosting was a mess; halfway through, it stopped going through the piping tool. So, I essentially stopped decorating and finished up spreading that stuff and topping it.
-
Starting to watch Elegies for Angels, Punks and Raging Queens. Interesting, but the first solo, the title song, is staged kind of like Adrienne Stieffel's solos in the Kritzerland shows -- and she would sing that gorgeous ballad 10 times better than the performer here.
-
On to the second piece. It's a new monologue, performed by Nathan Lane, and it's really good. It's about the current pandemic and the horrors of dying without being able to have your loved ones around you. But it's so poorly filmed that I can't watch it. I can only listen. The camera angle shoots up Lane's nose. If you ever wanted to take that journey, be my guest.

Did a Ralph's run and I'm afraid the hoarders are at it again. No paper towels at all. What is it about paper towels that people think they have to hoard them? Seriously. Toilet paper I might understand, but paper towels??? As I arrived, someone was loading up their car with about 500 bucks of groceries, it looked like to me. There were plenty of apples EXCEPT Honey Crisp - they were decimated. And onions. So, everyone needs to buy ONLY Honey Crisp (because they read about it here) and onions? Thankfully, plenty of Diet Coke and the few other things I needed.

Finished with my viewing.

Vixdad had a pneumonia and a flu shot today

His poor arms are dreadfully sore

And he feels miserable
-
I haven’t had mine yet

Actually I’ve never had a pneumonia shot
-
I’m not sure at what age they do that

I hope it holds. I used to bake and decorate a good sized house. When the kids got older it became a family decorating project and we would each decorate one side of the house and do the roof together.

Poor guy. I never do more than one vaccination at a time.

Bruce if you had read my warnings about paper towels, and my difficulty finding them, you would have purchased what you needed before they ran out ;)

65 for the 1st shot.

Hi, Tom.

Starting tonight, and available for only 36 hours (starting about 8 hours ago...so only 28 hours left!), the Stratford Festival (in Canada) is streaming their 2010 production of The Tempest (https://youtu.be/udMrEQsmq2U), starring Christopher Plummer and directed by Des McAnuff.

Good! Which ones?

The only TV series that I'm recording right now is Grey's Anatomy. I have the first three episodes recorded (the third was tonight) and I need to start watching them before my DVR fills up.

I hate it when that happens. :P

Starting with GRINCH: THE MUSICAL with Matthew Morrison as the green man. Didn’t Jose help Mr. Morrison prepare for his SOUTH PACIFIC audition?
