Jorge Negrete - La Valentina
Jorge Alberto Negrete Moreno (November 30, 1911 December 5, 1953) is considered one of the most popular Mexican singers and actors of all time. Negrete was born in Guanajuato where he was raised together with his brother and three sisters: David, Consuelo, Emilia and Teresa, and also lived in San Luis Potosí. He graduated with the rank of sub-lieutenant from El Colegio Militar, Mexico's military academy. Handsome, with a very strong will and a trained, fascinating voice, he is still a top idol in Mexico, Spain and Latin America, more than 50 years after his death. His recording of "México Lindo y Querido" ("Beautiful and Beloved México"), his country's unofficial anthem, is the best known recording of the song. His career is often compared to that of Pedro Infante, the best known and most popular Mexican actor of the time. The public rivalry didn't carry over to their private lives, as they were close friends until Negrete's death. He married twice, to famous actresses with whom he shared credits: Elisa Christy (with whom he had a daughter, Diana Negrete) and María Félix. He also lived with his frequent co-star, for more than ten years. Gloria Marín co-starred in 10 out of his 44 films. He started his career singing on the radio in 1931 in Mexico City singing operatic parts. In 1936 he signed with NBC for a television program with Cuban and Mexican musicians. He returned to Mexico in 1937 to act in the film "La Madrina Del Diablo" ("The Devil's Godmother") and because of <b>...</b>
La Campanella On Steroids ? :-) Liszt Rondo Fantastique "El Contrabandista" Valentina Lisitsa
This is perhaps the MOST unplayable piece of music I ever encountered! La Campanella , or Feux Follets ( both are clearly hinted here) are walk in a park in comparison....Early Liszt, from the period when he honestly thought that piano being a percussive instrument there is no point of making any attempt at legato,and one might as well enjoy frolicking in most head-spinning skips and repeated notes :-) The piece (which is based on Manuel Garcia's popular song) was titled in the first edition as "Op.5 #2". Funny , I think that was the last piece Liszt gave an opus number, anticipating how many works he is going to write :) Liszt intended this piece as a bravura finale for his recitals - but according to many reports , he failed utterly . Too difficult???? LOL A friend of mine who used to present great Soviet artists on their tours in Italy told me that the only person who played it LIVE was Pletnev. But even then Pletnev told him that he quit on this piece , calling it "unplayable". You can check for yourself - the music is available freely here: tinyurl.com Let me know how far you progress, OK ? It makes for an easy sight-reading. But do pay attention to indicated tempo marks. They are truly insane :-) For some fun go to middle of page 22 or page 28 and tell me how you like it :-) A hint... it would make for a hilarious video. Hitting those notes is a gamble no matter how many days spent practicing. La Campanella infamous skips are two octaves shorter .... Liszt recording <b>...</b>

Ken Lee or Without you by Mariah Carey (ENGLISH SUBTITLES)
A contestant in the second season of the Bulgarian show "Music Idol" performs Mariah Carey's song "Without you" in fake English. The contestant's name is Valentina Hasan, 29 years old. She's from the village of Zvezdelina, in the Kardzhali Province. Valentina's married and "Hasan" is her husband's surname. She currently lives in Spain. This video is not intended for any ethnic tensions or historical debates. It's just a laugh, so I implore everyone to ignore any irrelevant comments and not to engage in pointless discussions.

Rachmaninoff Moments Musicaux op 16 #2 e flat minor Valentina Lisitsa
If you are tired of too much Chopin lately :-) Here is a tiny bit of Rachmaninoff - his #2 of Moments Musicaux (I am going to perform a complete set in Montreal for Pro Musica this March 7th by the way). No fancy camera work here -- just one (first note to the last) take from the real recording session. Just one of many takes, not necessarily the one that will end up on Rachmaninoff solo works CD (with First Sonata and miscellany of Preludes etc). See, nowadays recording process is about basically making sure that every note is played, at least once. It can easily lead to making hundreds or even thousands of little "takes." If one person is apt to make a mistake here and there- multiply it by orchestra members - and you arrive into 1000+ takes. Everybody who tried to take a photo of a group with iPhone can relate to it. How many times have you have to take a picture to NOT get somebody with eyes shut or mouth open :-) The difference between a live performance and a recording is just as vast as the difference between watching a play in a theater and a movie. All of it of course thanks to modern recording and editing equipment (in movies just as in music). It used to be different and great musicians of old times would come to studio, play just as they would for the audience (the only difference being, they could do another try if things didn't quite work on the first take) and go away with a magnificent recording. We can complain all we want about old recordings as being <b>...</b>

Schubert-Liszt Des Mädchens Klage , Erlkönig (Valentina Lisitsa practice)
Another "trial run" practice . Again a fabulous Bosy Imperial. Schubert-Liszt Des Mädchens Klage The clouds rush by, the oaks roar, The maiden rests on the green by the shore as wave breaks with force, with force And she sighs into the gloomy night. eyes blurred with tears. "My heart has died, the world is empty, no wishes left to me in this life, oh, gods take your child back, I have relished earthly bliss, I have lived and loved." The tears run down to no end, Mourning will not bring back the dead, Tell me what eases the ache For sweet love's lost passion. I, the heavenly, will not deny it. Erlkönig Who rides, so late, through night and wind? It is the father with his child. He has the boy well in his arm He holds him safely, he keeps him warm. "My son, why do you hide your face so anxiously?" "Father, do you not see the Erl king? The Erl king with crown and tail?" "My son, it's a wisp of fog." "You dear child, come, go with me! Very lovely games I'll play with you; Many colourful flowers are on the shore, My mother has many golden robes." "My father, my father, and don't you hear What Erl king quietly promises me?" "Be calm, stay calm, my child; The wind is rustling through withered leaves." "Do you want to come with me, pretty boy? My daughters shall wait on you finely; My daughters will lead the nightly dance, And rock and dance and sing you to sleep." "My father, my father, and don't you see there Erl king's daughters in the gloomy place?" "My son, my son, I see it <b>...</b>

Chopin Polonaise c minor Op 40 #2 Valentina Lisitsa
This Polonaise is a "twin" brother of another - far more famous Op 40, bearing a title of "Military" polonaise. Unlike its famous sibling, this - technically easy - Polonaise suffered a lot from being a favorite piece to abuse for intermediate piano students. This tradition gradually led to depreciation of Chopin's own remark "Allegro Maestoso". It is very frustrating to hear it performed like a dirge or a funeral march - and while I can forgive students doing it, it is very bad when professionals try to "milk" it in order to elicit tears and sighs from the audience - treating it like yet another prelude written by a sickly Chopin... It cannot be further from truth. This is a very nationalistic piece - in the very best sense of it. It was composed to swell the hearts of listeners with pride in their country, with a hope than no matter how despoiled and plundered at the moment, it will survive and flourish ( Just as famous words of Polish anthem" Poland has not yet perished..."). In fact, this polonaise is the most traditional of the whole set - it would lend itself easily to an actual dance. Not by incident, many details ( including two measures' short opening - inviting dancers to take places, minor key etc...) establish uncanny similarity with a traditional Polish Polonez (yes, that's how Polonaise is called correctly) which never disappeared from hearts of Poles and which opens each and every high school prom in Poland.

Shostakovich Sonata No.2 Mov1 and 2. Valentina Lisitsa
We all wonder from time to time how things look on "other " side" , but resign to the thought that nobody came back from "there" to tell us how things are. With a few exceptions... Dante had created his own , albeit imagined , Inferno. Shostakovich descended a real inferno, lived through it and came out alive to tell the story , to bear a testimony to the hell on earth. What else can you call it when people -- bright , thinking , loving people -- millions of them - are sentenced to living on 125 grams a day of 50% sawdust bread ration ( and only those able-bodied or well-connected ) , then to eating their pets and pests, belts and shoes ( with scraped off the walls wallpaper paste being an exquisite delicacy ) , then -- their dead , and then -- their living... This September ( 8th- 21st ) marks 70th anniversary of beginning of Siege of Leningrad, one of the deadliest and darkest episodes in the history of European civilization (if you can still call it a "civilization"). This magnificent city rightly called Venice of the North , a cradle of modern Russia, a hotbed of progressive thought, a showcase of best in Russian art, music, literature -- predestined to the most cruel of death of starvation by two tyrants, dictators -- who despite being on opposing sides of a war , shared a common hatred of humanity. In 900 days of the siege , 1 500 000 people died -- out of population of 2.5 million. Shostakovich , abandoned as the rest of population of Leningrad , lived through it <b>...</b>
