What are you listening to?

Never heard this before. It is has hints of the Floyd to be, but like it's mixed in with the Mamas and the Papas.

***Edit - It didn't make it to the end. Kind of not my style, and I habe a pretty broad style, and just not in the mood.

It is NOT Dark Side of the Moon.

 

C.M. von Weber, Clarinet concerto no. 2 ... because I am going to play it next spring

 

This was a 2013 vinyl only release which magically showed up on Tidal two weeks ago. It's a fabulous collection.

This is a beautiful, but very sad song composed during WW2 by the famous Mikis Theodorakis whose music I'm very familiar with since the time I lived in Greece. Maria Farantouri is singing it and her voice is so lilting. My wife's cousin asked me to translate it for her and when I did, she burst into tears. It's about a beautiful young girl who was so adored by her Mom and her brother and she was taken away on a train, and perished in the Holocaust.

Whoever wants a translation is free to ask me.

 

Another lovely song from Greece sung by Mikis Theodorakis. This song brings tears to my eyes - it really does! (and I get very nostalgic!)

Sto Perigiali to Kryfo means "On The Deserted Seashore."

It's a song about it not being good to live in the past too much and the necessity of having to go on with life.

 

Oh yeah.....
