Just when I thought I’d heard it all, here comes Valentina to absolutely crush Chopin’s complex and difficult Fantaisie. Take a few minutes — yes, it’s just a few, compared to others’ lumbering efforts, and the tempo is actually as Chopin intended — and enjoy.
No thanks necessary; all part of the service.
I’m not sure that “virtuosa” is a real word, but it is at least feminine in intent.
And not for the first time, either.
I am an unabashed fan of Latin-American music — such as this compendium of soft Brazilian tunes, so feel free to play this as background music to your Internet- or other readings today.
Or if that’s not to your taste, a little (okay a lot of) Bossa Nova?
A little Chick goes a long way… all the way to Spain.
Bouncy pop from Suzi Quatro and some other guy never heard of before and none since either.
This one slides into my subconscious about oh, probably three or four times a month.
Maybe one of the best rock waltzes ever written.
And its sequel is just as wonderful… wait, is that German? Some impossible harmonies, and all sung, not synthesized (because they didn’t have the tech back then).
