Hi!


The older I get — the more I'm enjoying a lot of music I would have "turned my nose up at" when I was younger.

This has opened new musical worlds to me and allowed me to find and appreciate all kinds of awesome music in in a wide variety of styles.

Case in point:  I found this absolutely lovely version of the Waltz of the Flowers by Pyotr Tchaikovsky, as performed by Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra.

From the 2nd Act of the ballet "The Nutcracker" — Waltz of the Flowers — written in 1892 — is one of those classical pieces that has regularly been used in movies and TV shows.

Walt Disney famously used it in his epic 1940's 2D animation, Fantasia.

Hope you enjoy this fine performance as much as I do.





Thanks as always for stopping by!

See you soon!

Video: Flower duet by Léo Delibes - Vocalists Anna Netrebko & Elina Garanca



Clément Philibert Léo Delibes

I love this beautiful duet!

Sous le dôme épais ("Flower Duet"), written by French composer Léo Delibes (21 February 1836 – 16 January 1891) has been used in movies, television shows and commercials...and so while most people couldn't name it or it's author...it will seem familiar to many.

If you listen to the beginning and it doesn't seem familiar to you, either wait or fast-forward to 1:19...which is the most well known (and used) section.

That this version was performed "live" with vocalists Anna Netrebko and Elina Garanca just makes it all the more beautiful.

Hope you enjoy it!
