    Impressive without being enjoyable was sort of my reaction too....

    (Had to look up 'rasgueado' - rapid finger-nail strumming, I think?)

        PS interesting posture for a rocker - guitar resting on left thigh, footstool - that and LH position makes me think she's classically trained.

          Re - the neck, yes, though we can't see how deep it is...

          Many 'shredders' prefer the classical position. I dislike guitar-shredders though, and the term itself makes me wince. Like the other video, I only made it to about half-way through. Oh well...

                Thanks for posting this. It immediately reminded me of his analysis of Strawberry Fields listening through headphones and straight to camera- Monitor maybe? Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be available on You tube. There is however an equally wonderful page of Kellerian analysis of Beatles songs Google-able.

                  The last ever edition of Music Magazine was broadcast on Sunday, 25th March, 1973, with articles on Bach's St John Passion, Richard Strauss, Cathy Berberian, and Ebeneezer Prout. The programme was replaced the following Sunday (April 1st!) with Music Weekly presented by Dominic Gill.

                  Music Magazine began its run as a fortnightly, 45-minute programme on the Home Service at 11:00 am on Sunday, 21st May, 1944, replacing the earlier 20-minute weekly feature, Music-Lover's Calendar, (which itself became a fortnightly feature, and later re-titled Music-Lovers' Diary - the apostrophe move in the original). The first edition of the new programme featured "articles" on Haydn in England, Gustav Holst, a Book Review (by Alec Robertson), and a "Musical Puzzle" set by Eric Blom. As Music-Lover's Calendar had been a twenty-minute programme devoted to one topic each week, we might say that the rot in standards started with Music-Magazine!

                  Both Music Magazine and the Music-Lovers' Diary stopped for a Summer break in 1948, and the former returned as a weekly programme on Sunday, 10th October, 1948. Alec Robertson presented, and Anna Instone (who had been editor ever since the programme began) was joined as editor by her husband, Julian Herbage for the first time. He would later first join Robertson as presenter, and then take over as sole presenter for the majority of the programme's "run" - he was already an editor at the BBC, and one of the Proms programmers from 1945-61. He died in 1976 - Anna Instone in 1978.

                    This popped up on my youtube and I watched it. Arlo Guthrie, Pete Seeger et al, with a good yarn, a few laughs, Pete looking embarrassed, and a surprisingly successful song from the 'King of Folk'. That's Showbiz.

                    A great story about playing in Denmark with Pete and Tao. It's great to see the visuals on this one. This is the first time Pete has heard Arlo tell this sto...

                      Actually, if you tap "Hans Keller" into the YouTube 'search' field you get a surprisingly wide variety of TV and radio broadcasts devoted to him, from Pink Floyd to Furtwangler ...

                        The animated version of the Beethoven 5 first movement. Had me laughing out loud in places.

                        Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

                            The Beethoven animation was hilarious and must have taken ages to do. Thanks also for the link!

                            Back to normality and a rare 'live' performance from Italy of Respighi's "Church Windows" conducted by Vasily Petrenko. A question for those of you with long memories: when was it last given a London performance? The Petrenko performance is spoiled in the 'Papal Coronation' finale by the use of a tin-pot organ on the platform, whereas what it needs is the great Albert Hall organ to do it justice. Henry Wood gave the UK premiere of the work back in 1928, though not at a Prom where it's never been played in any case, but has there been a London performance in, say, the last 50 years? If not, I think one is well overdue! ...

                            Respighi's 'Church Windows' ('Vetrate di Chiesa') are seldom heard in the concert hall but here is a performance given in Rome in 2011 by Vasily Petrenko and...



                            Petrenko's performance gets some very mixed opinions in the comments underneath the video, ranging from "truly disappointing" to "stunning ... sublime."

                              A fascinating hour-long TV documentary about Sir Thomas Beecham has just popped up on You Tube. I don't know if it's taken from a commercially-issued DVD or not, as the opening and closing credits have been lopped off. At any rate, it's narrated by John Amis and includes lots of interview material with TB, as well as filmed rehearsal and concert footage. Also uncredited on the screen are the various participants, of whom I recognized only Jack Brymer, Geraint Evans, Norman del Mar, Eva Turner and Leopold Stokowski. However, maybe the other faces will be recognized by those more knowledgeable than me, though I did notice Graham Stark and Joan Sims popping up to act out some anecdote or other concerning TB. I wonder what the date is of this TV programme ...

                              Sir Thomas Beecham, 2nd Baronet, CH (29th April 1879 - 8th March 1961), 81, was an English conductor and impresario best known for his association with the L...
