For all those of you, who enjoy Thai-Massage: I worked for a very nice an brand new Thai-Spa in Jena. The interior is excellent and very tasteful and the massages are extremely refreshing and relaxing. And, it cheaper than I thought.

Short Movie: “Waldesnacht”

soflute — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 23:20:13 +0000

Kino Dynamique Jena: This time I couldn’t resist doing a movie myself. The result can be seen here, it’s pretty self-explanatory. Waldesnacht (Johannes Brahms) is sung by the King’s Singers – Buy their CD’s! – they are great.

Enjoy!

L’Arpeggiata (Christina Pluhar) & Nuria Rial: Giovanni Felice Sances: Stabat mater

soflute — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 15:15:26 +0000

For a while now I am caught by the concept of “Historically informed performance“. So I use this change to once more present an amazing example of music out of this “genre”:

Christina Pluhar has become one of the most recognized musicians in this domain. Her ensemble “L’Arpeggiata” already featured a high quality selection of guests like Philippe Jaroussky and many others. From her work with Nuria Rial, a spanish soprano, comes this beautiful and musically astonishing interpretation of Giovanni Felice Sances’ (c. 1600 – 1679) “Stabatar Mater” (Lyrics):

Enjoy!

Pierre Certon: “La, la, la, la, je ne l’ose dire”

soflute — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 11:29:55 +0000

This tiny bit of music is particularly interesting because of its arrangement – try to follow individual voices – you will see, it’s quite hard Especially in this amazing interpretation by the King’s Singers.

Jean-Christophe Spinosi drives me crazy

soflute — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 14:58:42 +0000

A friend of mine introduced me to Spinosi’s interpretation of Vivaldi’s Op. 439 “La notte” – I found it amazing and fresh. Thus I want to share this amazing pice of music with you:

(Unfortunately I could not find the scores for the Vivaldi online beside this one at Google Books which is quite restricted.)

Also check out this Telemann interpretation (TWV 52:e1): which is as impressive as the Vivaldi above.
