my fourteen favorite recording of the Johnson Bagpipe Concerto.

That's a lousy concerto, to begin with. Try Smith's Cymbalom Concerto. :laugh:

I have twenty-six on a period cymbalom and sixty-two on a modern one. Vibratoless cymbalom is not really my cup of tea.  :laugh:

Das Land ohne Musik, wo kein Zitronen blühn,
Im dunkeln Laub kein Gold-Orangen glühn,
Kein sanfter Wind vom blauen Himmel weht,
Kein Myrte still und hoch der Lorbeer steht?

Who said German is complicated? Even in poetry you can preserve rhyme and rythm and yet turn it into its polar opposite just by modifying the article.  :D

The Johnson concerto is a dudd, but Kevin Weed's is a beauty!

Actually, it was just incomplete punctuation:

Im dunkeln Laub kein' Gold-Orangen glühn,
Kein sanfter Wind vom blauen Himmel weht,
Kein' Myrte still und hoch der Lorbeer steht?

Pronouncing with my punctuation preserves the original German. Pronouncing with your punctuation turns the whole thing into Dutch.  ;D

Actually more into Low Saxon, my mother tongue. In Dutch it would look like:

Ken je dat land zonder muziek, waar geen citroenen bloeien,
In het donkere gebladerte geen gouden sinaasappels gloeien,
Geen zachte wind uit de blauwe hemel suist,
Geen myrte stil staat en geen laurier hoog?
Ken je dat wel?

Which part of The Netherlands are you actually from?

Could you please post the Low Saxon version as well?  :)
