Here I'll post a daily music video and I invite you all to respond withe your music video of the day, all genres accepted.

I'll start the ball rolling with one of my favourites.

Patricia JANEČKOVÁ: "Les oiseaux dans la charmille" (Jacques Offenbach - Les contes d' Hoffmann)

I think it is commonly called "The Doll's Song" though I stand to be corrected if you know better.

Doesn't matter how often i hear this, I love it more...
Lin Manuel Miranda and Ben Platt - duet taking "Tonight" from Hamilton and "Found" from Dear Evan Hanson. It's absolutely stunning...

Don't know what the playback error is so https://youtu.be/Vf42IP__ipw


EDIT
WOW Suzi!!!! That is stunning!!!

Edit by OldMike: Correcting video playback.

Sorry, I can’t copy this so the picture appears on the post - Apple doing its usual stroppy teenager thing ..... So there’s only the link

Jacqueline du Pre is, IMO, the best cellist there has every been - but developed MS and died at just 42. Such a huge loss

Paula Jacqueline du Pre is one of the most expressive of cellists and it hard to find anyone who is as good though if you want a modern cellist check out Alisa Weilerstein.

I'll return later to listen to it in its entirety as it's time for tea (dinner)

Jaq Flower Duet with Anna Natrebko is brilliant especially as I fancy Anna (inlove)

Paula
18-10-19, 09:41 PM
What’s the chances? I was watching mastermind (which I never do) and one of the specialist rounds was on Jacqueline Du Pre!

Paula
18-10-19, 09:53 PM
Mike, thank you for the Alisa Weilerstein tip. So, so beautiful - rich and all enveloping!

I've known this song sung by Nanci Griffith but I've found a recording of the writer and original performer of the song Kate Wolf who died in 1986, at age 44, after a long battle with leukemia.

Superb Paula I've got 2 of her CD's one is the Elgar Cello concerto with if I recall Kol Nidrei on the end of the CD the other is the Dvorak Cello concerto while I was checking the spelling of Kol Nidrei I found this which I'm sure you'll love as much as me.

Jacqueline du Pre - Kol nidrei (orchestral version)

https://youtu.be/X1Tx8CvYxjU

FYI Kol Nidre was written by Max Bruch

Should absolutely be not sorry! It got my hips moving for the first time in a week (rofl)

OldMike
19-10-19, 06:55 PM
Jaq loved James : Tomorrow and both the Eivor tracks (couldn't decide which was the best, both equally good)

Paula the Alisa Weilerstein (spelling) sonata was ace.

Suzi thought the Great Showman track was brill.

As for Gina G was that track a nil points Eurovision entry some tracks are like junk food they might not be much good but are tasty :)

Jaquaia
19-10-19, 07:01 PM
I love the original version. I think it's so much more haunting in her native language!

This was released when I was 9. Heard it all the time as my dad loves it, he's a big Beautiful South fan. I've met Dave Rotheray too, who co-wrote this with Paul Heaton. He's absolutely lovely.

It's also the first song I ever sang at karaoke!!!

https://youtu.be/ggJYJ9frSl0

Suzi
20-10-19, 12:28 PM
I love the Beautiful South! :)

Jaquaia
20-10-19, 12:30 PM
Me too!!! Their music has been a huge part of growing up for me.

Suzi that song is beautiful!!!

Suzi
20-10-19, 01:01 PM
I think so, she was on the voice years ago and that's from her first album, which is phenomenal... I love her!

I adore this song by Tom Walker (even if my girls do think he sounds a bit like Kermit the Frog)... So, thought I'd share this version with Eminem..


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5iyBxIkEMk

21-10-19, 09:16 AM
Beautiful, Suzi, tho I get the Kermit thing lol

OldMike
21-10-19, 09:45 AM
Love that song, sounds like Kermit the frog, get outta here K e r m i t the frog nah unless Kermit was doing an impression of Tom Walker (giggle)

I love the story of this song - did you know that all the lyrics are just newspaper headlines from that year?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFTLKWw542g

OldMike
23-10-19, 08:50 AM
Jarre I recognise Rick Wakeman on keyboards and Jon Anderson lead vocals not sure who else is in there. Back in the days when prog rock ruled everyone raved over "Yes" though looking back they don't appear as good as they did at the time (or is it me getting old ;) )

Suzi I like Billy Joel but wasn't aware of the story behind We Didn't Start the Fire, liked it, thanks.

I'm going to base my daily video on yours Suzi so without further ado I give you Stevie Nicks (inlove) - Fire Burning

Johnny Nash - There Are More Questions Than Answers (I adore this)

Lyrics


Chorus
There are more questions than answers
Pictures in my mind I will not show
There are more questions than answers
And the more I find out the less I know
Yeah the more I find out the less I know

I've asked the question time and time again
Why is there so little love among men?
But what is life?
How do we live?
What should we take and how much should we give?

Chorus

Oh what is life?
How do we live?
Oh what should we take and how much should we give?

Chorus

This is something special lots of famous names but it showcases near the end how good a guitarist Prince was, msot of his songs were "pop music" but he could shred and give anyone a running as seen here. Oh and I want his hat!
