Chopin: La Dame aux camélias (Paris Opera Ballet)

Classical music composed by Frédéric Chopin Based on the Alexandre Dumas novel that also inspired the stories of Verdis La Traviata and Hollywoods Moulin Rouge, John Neumeier creates a riveting dance drama around the famous woman of lore, La Dame aux camélias. The passionate tale of Marguerite Gautier and Armand Duval unfolds ingeniously through a drama-within-a-drama as they meet at the theatre during a performance of Manon Lescaut. So begin their romantic adventures in Paris, brought to life by Neumeiers intense and refined choreographic language. Chopins ravishing music highlights this exceptional neo-classical ballet, featuring the star dancers of the Paris Opéra Ballet. This lavish production, filmed live at the Palais Garnier in High Definition and full surround sound, is all about love, passion, danger and glorious dancing from one of the best ballet companies in the world.

Frédéric CHOPIN: Nocturne in C-sharp Minor (Op. Posth. no.20)

Chopin's Nocturne in C-sharp minor is one of my favourite pieces. I'm not going to play in a formal classical way, but I'll play it in my own style with a little bit special adjustment. Sorry if I make you disappointed. :) The volume may be too loud for some notes because the mic is inside the piano. I apologize if I make your ears have hard feeling. Hope you like it and thanks for watching. ^ v ^

E strano! E strano!...Ah, fors'Ã¨ lui che l'anima...Follie! Follie!...Sempre libera
Orchestra sinfonica di Torino della RAI
Conducted by Gabriele Santini
1953

VIOLETTA (sola)
Ãˆ strano! Ãˆ strano! In core
scolpiti ho quegli accenti!
Saria per me sventura un serio amore?
Che risolvi, o turbata anima mia?
Null'uomo ancora t'accendeva -- O gioia
ch'io non conobbi, esser amata amando!
E sdegnarla poss'io
per l'aride follie del viver mio?
Ah, fors'Ã¨ lui che l'anima
solinga ne' tumulti
godea sovente pingere
de' suoi colori occulti!
Lui che modesto e vigile
all'egre soglie ascese,
e nuova febbre accese,
destandomi all'amor.
A quell'amor ch'Ã¨ palpito
dell'universo intero,
misterioso, altero,
croce e delizia al cor!
Follie! follie! Delirio vano Ã¨ questo!
Povera donna, sola,
abbandonata in questo
popoloso deserto
che appellano Parigi.
Che spero or piÃ¹?
Che far degg'io? Gioire,
di voluttÃ ne' vortici perir.
Gioir, gioir!
Sempre libera degg'io
folleggiare di gioia in gioia,
vo' che scorra il viver mio
pei sentieri del piacer.
Nasca il giorno, o il giorno muoia,
sempre lieta ne' ritrovi,
a diletti sempre nuovi
dee volare il mio pensier.

Amore, amor Ã¨ palpito...

sempre lieta ne' ritrovi,
a diletti sempre nuovi,
dee volare il mio pensier.

Ah! Dee volar il mio pensier.
Ah! il mio pensier. Il mio pensier.

Luciano Pavarotti - La Donna è Mobile Rigoletto

The "king" Luciano Pavarotti as Il Duca di Mantova in the screen movie "Rigoletto" (1983) based on Giuseppe Verdi's opera with the same name (1851).

La Donna è Mobile - Giuseppe Verdi

La donna è mobile
Qual piuma al vento
Muta d'accento
E di pensiero

Sempre un'amabile
Leggiadro viso
In pianto o in riso
Ãˆ menzognero

La donna è mobil
Qual piuma al vento
Muta d'accento
E di pensier
E di pensier
E di pensier

è sempre misero
Chi a lei s'affida
Chi le confida
Mal cauto il core

Pur mai non sentesi
Felice appieno
Chi su quel seno
Non liba amore

La donna è mobil
Qual piuma al vento
Muta d'accento
E di pensier
E di pensier
E di pensier...

Madame Butterfly - Maria Callas

Puccini's Opera ''madame butterfly'' by Maria Callas Maria Callas (Greek: Μαρία Κάλλας) (December 2, 1923 September 16, 1977) was an American-born Greek soprano and one of the most renowned opera singers of the twentieth century. She combined an impressive bel canto technique with great dramatic gifts. An extremely versatile singer, her repertoire ranged from classical opera seria to the bel canto operas of Donizetti, Bellini, and Rossini; further, to the works of Verdi and Puccini; and, in her early career, the music dramas of Wagner. Her remarkable musical and dramatic talents led to her being hailed as La Divina. Born in New York City and raised by an overbearing mother, she received her musical education in Greece and established her career in Italy. Forced to deal with the exigencies of wartime poverty and with myopia that left her nearly blind on stage, she endured struggles and scandal over the course of her career. She turned herself from a heavy woman into a svelte and glamorous one after a mid-career weight loss, which might have contributed to her vocal decline and the premature end of her career. The press exulted in publicizing Callas's allegedly temperamental behavior, her supposed rivalry with Renata Tebaldi, and her love affair with Aristotle Onassis. Her dramatic life and personal tragedy have often overshadowed Callas the artist in the popular press. Her artistic achievements, however, were such that Leonard Bernstein called her "The Bible of opera", and <b>...</b>

Debussy: The girl with the flaxen hair (La fille aux cheveux de lin)

Online Piano Lessons! All Levels! 8e992hnjrhia1y8ot3h9tp1x30.hop.clickbank.net Claude-Achille Debussy (1862-1918) was a French composer who developed the "impressionist" style, which was an outgrowth of the "symbolist" movement in literature. Debussy sought to free music from what he believed to be rigid rules associated with most German oriented classical music. Some of the techniques Debussy used were whole-tone scales, exotic and eastern scales, chord clusters, glissandos, extreme dynamics, and the absence or disguising of barlines. Debussy remains one of the great innovators in piano music and orchestration in the entire history of music.

Gabriel Grovlez: L'Almanach aux Images - 'Le Pasteur'

Grovlez (1879-1944) was a French pianist and conductor, who premiered Ravel's Sonatine in 1906. L'Almanach aux Images, a set of eight short pieces is his best-known work. Each piece is prefaced by a poem by the French 'fantaisiste' poet Tristan Klingsor (1874-1966). He is still in EU copyright for a long time to come, so I will not reproduce the Pasteur poem, which depicts the shepherd playing a plaintive air by a fountain in an enchanted forest.

Prokofiev: Cinderella (Paris Opera Ballet)

Rudolf Nureyevs colourful, movie-star version of Prokofievs Cinderella retains the classic Perrault story but sets it in America during the difficult years of the Great Depression in the 1930s and 1940s. Agnès Letestu stars as Cinderella who, living with her alcoholic father, tyrannical stepmother and two spiteful stepsisters, dreams of escape and stardom in Hollywood. After a promising screen-test during which The Film Star, suavely portrayed by José Martinez, falls head over heels in love with her, she is fearful that her new-found happiness is too good to be true and will vanish with her youth. Fortunately, her magical protector (in the form of The Producer) and her lover move heaven and earth for a happily ever after ending. This is Paris Opera Ballet at its very best.

Americas Got Talent - Jackie Evancho 10 Opera Singer

The YouTube.com community picked their favorite Jackie Evancho. She is a young opera singer from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and can be compared to Susan Boyle. Now she may look like an average kid, but this child has a set of pipes. The video entry gave an amazing performance that one person commented sounded like an Angel. Looking to be a very young contestant, there is no doubt she might steal the show.

Bio
Jackie Evancho - 10yrs old - Singer
Jackie has a style that is all her own. At ten years old, she possesses an ability that many older artists lack. Her talent and presence captivate all that hear her. Jackie performs with such style and grace that we forget that we are watching/listening to a child. She has been called by a many, a singing prodigy!

By Jerry Shriver, USA TODAY
When a 10-year-old singer belted out a Puccini aria with the polished voice of someone thrice her age on Tuesday night's episode of America's Got Talent, the "next Susan Boyle!" superlatives flowed across the mediascape. But so did the question: Is Jackie Evancho for real?
The precocious soprano, a Pittsburgh-area fourth-grader who auditioned for the NBC show with a YouTube video, wowed the panel with a live performance of O Mio Babbino Caro. But a video clip appears to show that her lips are ever-so-slightly out of sync with the audio.

Fremantle, the company that produces AGT and Fox's American Idol, makes contestants available only to local media. But "there was no lip-syncing," says producer Jason Raff.

LIFELINE LIVE:More on Jackie, plus see video

During rehearsals, "the whole crew was saying it looked like she's lip-syncing," he says. "And on the close-ups, her mouth is moving a different way than the sound coming out. It is weird, but it's just how she sings."

The voters embraced her happily: On Wednesday's results show, Evancho advanced to the semifinals.

Further testimony to her true talent comes from her track record: Her self-released EP, Prelude to a Dream, has sold around the world, and she has performed with David Foster, sung the national anthem at the Pittsburgh Pirates home opener and appeared on PBS.

"She is just truly blessed with a voice that's phenomenal," says classical-crossover composer/conductor Tim Janis, who is including Evancho in his American Christmas Carol show (Dec. 2) at Carnegie Hall.

A film producer had alerted Janis to Evancho two years ago, and he put her in one of his Celebrate America specials for the Pittsburgh public television station WQED. "Jackie just stood out and shined," he says. Her voice "totally captivated me and sent me to a place that was uplifting and inspiring."

Even if listeners don't know that it's a child singing, "the voice stands on its own. It's a big sound that fills the room."

The reaction recalls the Cinderella story of Boyle, who became an Internet sensation after her Britain's Got Talent appearance and went on to record an album that has sold 9 million copies worldwide.

Evancho trains with at least two vocal coaches, which is essential at her age "to make sure you don't abuse the gift," Janis says. "A young vocalist is in the process of developing those muscles, and you don't overdo it."

He won't speculate whether Evancho, who sings both pop and classical, will choose one specialty. "She has a rare gift to speak to many hearts. In my mind, the classical setting is a really nice match for her voice. But someone who doesn't follow that genre can still appreciate the beauty.

"Whatever she picks, she will do well."
