This might be my favorite song of hers - she is, I feel, a seeming embodiment of freedom, and her voice is out of this world (superb control).

 I was kinda hoping the new forum software would make threads easier to ignore by having them not show up at all.

It is odd, as the region is technically my diametric opposite, but I feel a deep connection to Scandinavia (well, my great-grandparents were from Sweden, but if anyone has met me, no one would ever guess that).

The contemporary band, Kraekk (if you are interested in the cutting edge - this band is one of those places to find it) band playing Lange's Metal and Glass and Metal and Metal:

Heavy on the sound exploration, harmonics, and rhythms. Good for stretching the ears.

General Classical Music Discussion / Re: David Hurwitz

Quote from: 71 dB on January 20, 2024, 02:08:42 AMDavid Hurwitz has very strong opinions, but he doesn't expect/demand other people share them. All he wants people to do is to "keep listening." 

Unfoprtunately I disagree. His opinions are often expressed with intimidating vehemence of ridicule. Keep in mind that many people approach classical music with feeling of insecurity.

Quote from: pjme on Today at 08:21:50 AMCentaurusweg 39 in Tilburg, free for everyone to see - against the facade of the CVB Recycling company. The mural is by Studio Giftig from Veldhoven, which consists of the artist duo Niels van Swaemen and Kaspar van Leek. The work entitled 'Trashure' has been chosen by an international audience as the most beautiful street art of 2022.

That is sweet. I am always blown away by artists who can maintain coherence on such a large scale. Definitely awe inspiring. :-)

Indeed. Dunno if I'm interested in the book, but that cover is downright inspiring.  :laugh:
