Horsehung, I am overwhelmed with joy that you know Sigur Roz!! I have seen the video you spoke of several times, but will have to ask my daughter the name. She and I both found it positively gut-wrenching, if she has a copy, I'll get one to you. We saw them a couple years ago at the Fox Theatre in Detroit, it was sold out and halfway through the show I let my transfixed eyes move around the audience and there was not a dry eye in the house! Even singing in Icelandic, too beautiful to describe. That's so great that you took to the piano so quickly, must be a wonderful creative outlet as well as an entrance into the hearts of the classical composers. Mozart is my dearest love because he was such a genius/weirdo, some of the stuff in Don Giovanni is positively extraordinary. I think that one is all to often overlooked, parts of it even more dramatic than Requiem.
Plz do if you have it I would LOVE to have that again and will burn it to DVD asap so i can watch it anytime.

I too Love MOZART, the piece I love most by him is Fantasia in D minor I learned that my 2nd year and was consumed with perfecting it since I love D minor anyway and was moved by its haunting melody

Well I honestly think I took to it so quickly b/c it IS in my soul since I have discovered that I have lived in 3 Classical Music lives , even one of someone very famous who I will not mention out of the impending ridicule and doubt it would bring about.
Who knows I may get back into it and I have no doubt that I could be back at the level I was within a month of practicing, anyway I have wanted to learn the PROKOFIEV 2nd for a while , I bought the score last year and sight read through it once but would like to perfect it and memorize it

I also LOVE DON GIOVANNI, its very Dark almost like GOTH OPERA!

Hi,
Yes, Horsehung I would agree with you. "A Goth Opera" is a great description of Don Giovanni. I especially love the last act as he is being dragged down to his just rewards! (A dark maniacal laugh bubbles from the depths of Naughty's throat! LOL! )

HORSEHUNGshowoff: LOL I first saw that when I was still Baptist and lived in fear of the mythical lake of fire and Fire and Brimstone and it scared the fuck out of me but now I love the justification of it :)

Headbang,
I have not heard of Blossom Dearie... Do tell.

[post=243367]Quoted post[/post]​
Well, naughtmistress, the first thing you need to know is that Blossom Dearie is her real name; her father was an American doctor of Scottish extraction, hence the surname Dearie. Blossom? Well, you know how cuel parents can be...

Oddly, though, the name really suits her pure, clear, almost child-like voice. When you take the girlishly innocent tone and put it to work on smoky ballads, it's very sexy. She can carry a torch, but it's a burden she carries lightly, and can toss away on a whim. Unique.

To escape a stiflng adolescence in upstate New York, she fled to Paris in the early 1950s, where she fell in with the jazz scene and recorded several albums of standards. It Might as Well Be Spring comes from her first American album, an odd mixture of standards in English and French, with some originals. You can listen to a very, very lo-fi 60 seconds of the song at the album's Amazon web page. Listening in lo-fi, you really don't sense the astonishing clarity and purity of her voice.

And, I dunno, am I alone in finding the cute horn rimmed glasses and the slighltly tousled blonde hair on the cover kinda sexy? A little like Marilyn Monroe in How to Marry a Millionaire. Maybe her slightly boyish charm in that pic betrays me as a fag?

I was first introduced to her when, as a teenage jazz fan, I went to see Stephane Grappelli in concert when he played the Adelaide Festival in 1976. Dearie was his support act, and she stole the show.
Apparently, I wasn't alone in thinking this.

At the time, she was just about at the peak of whatever mainstream celebrity she had, before settling back into a comfortable cult status. Personally, I think she became a bit of a parody of herself, concentrating on popular but silly novelty numbers. My Attorney Bernie, I'm Hip, Rhode Island is Famous for You and perhaps her best known spoof Pro Musiqua Antiqua. Lots more is told in her discography.

When it comes to music for seduction, I don't use jazz very much, it's too cerebral and not passionate enough. But It Might as Well Be Spring is a romantic favourite.

Hope I haven't bored you, naughty. But as you can tell, I'm a fan.
