Not a song - but a very beautiful piece of music with some equally beautiful images:

Thanks Robert - I enjoyed that.

Limehouse, any time you have half an hour, then (if you haven't already) check out Sibelius's Violin Concerto. It's wonderful.

Thnks Robert - I know it -and love it! I also adore Brahms' violin concerto. I'm a sucker for strings.

Here is Brahms:

Me too, and choral. Listen to the Hosanna at 6.50 :

That was lovely Robert. Very rousing. Do you know Borodin's Polovtsian Dances from Prince Igor? It's a lovely chorus piece that I have loved greatly from a very early age.

I once played it for my step-mother-in-law who remarked 'Your Russian stole that tune you know. It's really called 'Stranger in Paradise'.

Robert - here is another most beautiful piece by one of my favourite composers - Dvorak

I really think that pieces like this keep me from going insane.

[Robert]

Ah yes, Borodin stole that beautiful melody from Bing Crosby - I have him singing Stranger In Paradise on a 78 rpm.

Loved the Dvorak, even if it did look like Clint Eastwood conducting it. Here is some more from him :

I looked to see if the Bekova Sisters' version of Pictures From An Exhibition was online, but apparently not.
