Seasonal thoughts for my readers



Dear readers, this is a time to dedicate to family and friends (and this is also why i am trying to stay a bit away from the computer, for a change ;-)))), but also to all those known and unknown who in turn also think of you. It is a time of things i cherish a lot: love, joy, friendship, peace, music and all those i wish for all of you to have in bundles!!
I also wanted to share the first Xmas card i got with you (click on the pic above to see the animated version :-)). The ROH beat everyone else to my postbox ;-))) I know it is just good customer service and part of having good PR, but as with all that they do when one is in the House, it is done with friendliness and with a touch of care that makes you believe it really does matter. So thank you ROH for the Greetings!
There are a number of post i owe you (on Rolando, on Jonas, on Thais and maybe more) and i'll be back to the usual ramblings soon enough ;-) I would have liked to dedicate a special song to each and everyone of you for Christmas, but I am afraid my imagination is not bright enough to make them as beautiful as each and every one of you deserve.
So please accept the modest gift below, it comes from the bottom of my heart to every single one of you! And it goes out to all of those who are mentioned here as well as to those who are not :-)
So - For those of you who can never get enough of Jonas, just like me ;-))) here is a little treat, you probably haven't heard before in this version: (Caecilie/Strauss)



And here is something for everyone!! Whenever i get asked what classical song i am reminded of every year at Christmas time - this is it!!! Please click on the link below to listen to the one and only Adeste fideles sung by Luciano Pavarotti!!
Merry Christmas!
Frohe Weihnachten!
Feliz Navidad!
Joyeux Noel!
Buon Natale!
Bon Nadal! ;-)))

    Christina, glad you liked it, it is special, this one, isn't it :-) Not the original song orchestration, but the text of this one really deserves the big band treatment/style, at least once, for fun :-)

  8. La multi ani, sa fii sanatoasa si sa ai parte de multe spectacole frumoase anul vitor si, cine stie, poate ne vedem la "Trovatore" la ROH.
    Numai bine,
    Georgiana

    PS: cat despre Jonas, n-as rata concertul lui de la Paris din 17 martie (Theatre des Champs Elysees). Sunt bilete din toate categoriile.

    La multi ani din Romania!
