SUNDAY MORNING CLASSICS ON TBP

A collaboration of: “The Classic Music Mafia”

Anthony Aaron, and Steve C.

Every Sunday morning we present selections for our TBP family to enjoy.

We present symphonies, ensembles, quartets, octets, etc.

Not all of our music is strictly ‘classical’. We may stray a little, but we strive to make all of our selections ‘classy’.

We offer tips on proper ‘symphony etiquette’ and even some selections that are a bit light-hearted and fun aimed at a younger audience. Those pieces will be so designated, and might be a good way to introduce kids to a world of music that they might not have been exposed to or think of as old and ‘stuffy’.

A full symphony will run as long as it will. We don’t want to cut a symphony short. However, we also include some shorter pieces that we try to keep under fifteen minutes in length. You can sample each and hopefully find one or more that pleases you.

We hope that you enjoy our Sunday selections.

Must have been the evening where she played the Turkish March encore later…

This Next Two Come To Us Thanks To Former Mafioso SMC.

Amadeus – “I didnt.”

If you haven’t seen the movie, kindly let me set the stage for you.

A priest visits Antonio Salieri in a mental hospital, where he is recovering from a self inflicted slash to the throat suicide attempt, as a very old man, haunted by his inferiority to a man infinitely more talented, and whom Salieri envied in younger years. . . Mozart.

Wolfgang AMADEUS Mozart.

Salieri has little patience for the priest, who has no concept of the frustration Salieri had during his influential years in Salzburg and Vienna, as court composer for the King.

So Antonio quizzes the priest, and reveals his ignorance about understanding musical genius.

Highly recommend the movie. The score is an epic movie soundtrack.

Fantastic actors, Producer, Director, etc. Won many Oscar awards when it was presented.

Thank you, mafiosos, for the extra large helping of Wolfie today. Much appreciated.

AMADEUS REMASTERED HD – MOZART INSULTS SALIERI BY PLAYING HIS OWN PIECE BETTER THAN HE DID

You’ve got it, AA!

Reading those quotes verbatim brought me goosebumps.

The Director’s Cut of that DVD is the edition that’s best.
F. Murray Abraham and Tom Hulce are outstanding in it.
Such a contrast, to Abraham’s portrayal of Omar, in Scarface, and Hulce in Animal House.

Another scene of humiliation…

Creedence Clearwater Revival – Lookin’ Out My Back Door

Hi Mafioso Team and all the TBPers,

Just to say thank you for your smoothing vibes which I got to this evening after collecting my wife from Cape Town airport when she travelled from Joburg after visiting her family for six weeks.

I flew from UK to CT last Sunday and have been in Simons Town Paradise all week, seeing old friends and jawing at FBYC

Life has now returned to normal after 14 long years on the sh**ity little island LOL – we actally ‘live’ here but only ‘exist’ in UK – the UK is a total disaster.

Welcome to Simons Town

I’m looking out my back door on to False Bay at my mountain home and loving every moment

Blessings

Nino Rota: The Godfather – Suite, Boian Videnoff – Mannheimer Philharmoniker

So glad to hear from you, AP! Glad you are well.. Hoping for a great Christmas season for you and yours…

Do love me some CCR… Dinosaur Victrola..

Last week I posted an Ennio Morricone piece by Boian Videnoff and the Mannheimer Philharmoniker that I felt was really fantastic.

I want to play some more pieces from these great artists, that I have previously posted by different artists.

We’ll start with a Nino Rota piece titled “The Godfather Theme.” Beware, the Angel on Mandolin is stunning in many ways.

Another beware or two: Boian Videnoff might be one of the most flamboyant and demonstrative conductors ever! He wrings out every drip that he wants from the orchestra, when he wants it. And the dude on clarinet fits the part with his Fredo physiognomy.. So, let’s go there.

Nicola Piovani: La vita è bella, Boian Videnoff – Mannheimer Philharmoniker

Next up, a Nicola Piovani piece titled : La Vita bella.

Georges Bizet: Carmen – Suite No. 1 / Boian Videnoff – Mannheimer Philharmoniker

Next up comes the well known Georges Bizet.

Rossini: Ouverture “La Gazza Ladra” / Videnoff – Mannheimer Philharmoniker

And finally, a personal favorite Rossini opera overture from “La Gazza Ladra.” Videnoff is especially flamboyant and theatrical in this piece. The story behind La Gazza Ladra is worth one’s time. So, without further adieu, the soul of Rossini:

Have a great Sunday..

MARGARITAVILLE by Jimmy Buffet (Best Video)

J.S.Bach – French Suites

Andras Schiff – Piano

BWV 812 813 814 815 816 817

The French Suites, BWV 812–817, are six suites which Johann Sebastian Bach wrote for the clavier (harpsichord or clavichord) between the years of 1722 and 1725. The suites were later given the name ‘French’ (first recorded usage by Friedrich Wilhelm Marpurg in 1762) as a means of contrast with the English Suites (whose title is likewise a later appellation).

The name was popularised by Bach’s biographer Johann Nikolaus Forkel, who wrote in his 1802 biography of Bach, “One usually calls them French Suites because they are written in the French manner.” This claim, however, is inaccurate: like Bach’s other suites, they follow a largely Italian convention.

It seems that our longtime friend Brendan Kavanagh had some trouble in UK last week.

A couple of Chinese working for a group called CCP confronted him.

Here’s the story about it from ZeroHedge:

By Tyler Durden

UK Piano Player Threatened By CCP Agents For Filming Their Faces In Public

In an event that has now become an international debate and diplomatic snafu, a popular YouTube piano player by the name of Brendan Kavanagh was filming a live stream at a public piano at London St Pancras station when Chinese citizens, some of them known to work for CCP groups in the UK, confronted him.

Kavanagh is renowned for his surprise musical performances at public pianos around the UK, where he entertains shoppers and travelers. In the UK, filming in public is legal and does not require permission, nor does it require release agreements from any of the people that might end up on camera. However, Chinese “tourists” later identified as members of the CCP, some of them working for CCP front organizations in the UK, were apparently not aware of this, or just didn’t care. The full confrontation is available in the video below:

One female member of the group initially has a friendly conversation with Kavanagh, who is told by another man that they are filming for Japanese TV. This proved to be incorrect, or perhaps a miscommunication. The woman was later identified as Adelina Zhang, a CCP agent who has hosted state functions for China in the UK for many years, rubbing elbows with some of Britain’s top politicians.

The friendly exchange becomes aggressive, however, when other members of her team realize they are on film and Kavanagh is a YouTuber. They argue that he is not allowed to film them or post the video to YouTube because they have a “non-disclosure” agreement with the company they are working for (they claim they were waiting to use the piano to film a sequence for Chinese TV). They threaten “legal action” if Kavanagh posts the video.

Kavanagh points out they are in Britain, not in communist China, and that he has every right to film in a public area.

The man who escalates the argument into threats and accuses the piano player of “racism” for calling the Chinese flag “communist” is Newton Leng. He works as a consultant for Financial Times and is a member of the IOE Confucius Institute, a well known front organization for the CCP operating in numerous western countries. The Confucius Institute has been investigated on a number of occasions for infiltration of key British organizations and for the promotion of the Chinese communist ideology in western schools.

One can easily gather that these are people who are used to having their orders obeyed, and they didn’t know how to respond to Kavanagh when he began questioning their demands. They quickly shift from fake friendliness to authoritarian posturing to violent screaming when it becomes clear they are not going to get what they want. It is perhaps a rare insight into how communist party members operate in China when they engage with the general population (the peasantry) – making the rules up as they go.

Brendan Kavanagh noted in a recent interview on the event that he has been contacted by a number of Chinese citizens who told him that this is the kind of incident that would lead to a person being “taken off to the camps” in China. Angering CCP officials is simply not tolerated.

Adelina Zhang would later release a video (which appears to be carefully scripted) in which she accused Kavanagh of racism that triggered the argument; a tactic which communists around the world have learned to use whenever their bad behavior is exposed. One might wonder what the CCP group was really doing there and why they were so insistent that they not be identified on camera?

Sadly, the UK is not quite as free as Kavanagh might have believed. London Police arrived and also threatened him, asserting that he could not publish his footage to YouTube (he absolutely legally can), and now the piano at St Pancrase Station is cordoned off from the public by London officials. The event was not only a lesson in the communist authoritarian mindset in China, but also a lesson in how much this mindset has spread into parts of the west like a cancer.
