Liszt in the World
on: May 09, 2015, 09:50:53 PM
Hi Everyone,

This is one of the best generalist documentaries I've seen on Liszt.  Maybe it would be good for young musicians and for persons not too read up on him.




Mvh,
Michael

Hi compline,

By the way, I had a great outing in Stockholm today, and without succumbing to such marvelous temptations as biskvi.  There is a museum in Djurgården where the pastry and dessert chef makes the best of many things . . . one can sit out in the quiet among the trees and the pleasant breeze there, and then walk along the canal, go explore an old castle [slott] or some very ancient forest indeed with tree trunks maybe 6ft across . . . maybe larger . . . it doesn't even feel like a city there, it is so very quiet and peaceful.  Much of Stockholm is that way.

Anyhow . . . I am rambling . . . :)


Mvh,
Michael

Wonderful photography and stunning views, especially the winter scenes.
I love visiting art galleries wherever I go.  Not sure about the revealing statues though, they are less than elegant in my opinion.
