Music, Music, Music

Since October 1, life has been full of beautiful music. Some performed by Laura Federici in her Weil Recital Hall debut, then again over the last two weekends in her role in Mozart's La Clemenza di Tito. On Sunday afternoon we went to see the final performance of an Argentinian musical based on the tango, called Tangurea. Talk about excitement. We could not contain ourselves for an hour and a half of dancing bliss and some of the most passionate music played on the planet: the music of the tango. Finally last evening we heard Renee Flemming and Susan Graham in Strauss's The Rose Cavalier at the Met Opera House. All splendid and very successful.

There is so much good music available every where in the world and I urge you to get out and hear it. Music sooths the soul, mind and body like no other balm. It need not be classical; only good.

I am amazed at how many homes I go into that are not filled with good music or books. This is not a criticism, merely an observation. Have you found that? Is your home filled with some art form? If so please share it with our readers here. Make recommendations.

Finally exhausted, Sunday evening we watched a Netflix film called, " I served the King of England". A Czech film with English subtitles that is extraordinarily good.

Takes place in Eastern Europe in the run up and after WWll.

Stunning character development and explanation of the culture of the era.

With all the horrors going on in the world today, please find time to be good to your self and enjoy some of the inspiring things in life
