    I can't wait for Carmen...Carmen is my second favorite opera (right after The Barber of Seville) and it would be a pleasure to see a video about it

      I also love Carmen, though I think if I had to choose a favorite opera… oh geez, the operas I’ve heard are so close in ranking for me. The drama of Beethoven’s Fidelio, the freemasonry references of The Magic Flute , the romantic music of Carmen, but if I had to choose just 1 for top spot, it would be Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro. I often find myself humming or singing the melody of Non più andrai from The Marriage of Figaro, I’ve wanted to learn the overture from it on the piano, and I just find Mozart’s operas in general to be very catchy.

    First of all, I love your channel. The preview to the "Carmen" video already had me laughing so hard I cried slightly. Keep them coming! Also, I'm hoping for many earlier pieces (classical and baroque eras). I would absolutely love to see one on Bach's "Musical Offering."

  • @TristanMA
    @TristanMA 6 месяцев назад +2

    Carmen is the most eschatological of Bizet's works (foreshadowing works such as Leoncavallo's I Pagliacci, Puccini's Tosca, Michel Fokine's Version of Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade). Lighter works by Bizet include The Pearl Fishers (with its famous duet), Suites to L'Arlésienne (quoting the Provençal Epiphany Tune- March of the Magi at the beginning of the first, and at the end of the second completed by Ernest Guiraud), and Symphony in C.

    Thank YOU for this year's videos. I'm honestly amazed at the effort it must take to create them, the writing, the investigation, the countless hours of analyzing and trying to make it easier for the audience to comprehend... That been said, here's some recommendations I've came up with:
    - The Romantic Wars (for variety and for something similar to the quartet one)
    - Mahler's 2nd Symphony
    - Borodin's "Prince Igor"
    - Offenbach's "Les Counts d'Hoffman" / "Orpheus in the Underworld"
    - Mendelssohn's "Scottish" symphony / Violin Concerto / "A Midsummer's Night Dream"
    - de Falla's "El Amor Brujo"
    - Britten's "The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra" / "Peter Grimes"
    - Sibelius' "Finlandia"
    - Brahms' "Hungarian Dances" / 1st Symphony / Violin Concerto (or anything else from him)
    - Paganinni's "21 cappricios"
    - Ravel's "Bolero" / Piano Concerto / "La Valse"
    - Shostakovich's 5th Symphony / 7th Symphony / 11th Symphony / 2nd Piano Concerto
    - Liszt's "Totentanz" / Mephisto Dances (or anything else from him)
    - Chopin's Preludes / Ballades (or anything else from him)
    - Bruckner's ANY Symphony
    Ok, maybe that's a lot 😅, but any of these would do. Thank you 😉

      ​@@alex9920iasi You do know that an 8 year old girl was crushed to death in a door and nobody tried to help her because she was Romani, right? Anyone with a heart would be deeply upset over that.
      Besides, the reason Romanian music functions the way it does at all is because essentially it is Romani music. The way the Doina is constructed has parallels to the makam of Turkish classical music, the influence of which was borne to Romania by the migration of the Romani people. If you've ever been moved by Enescu's 3rd violin sonata, or even Porumbescu's Balada, you're being moved by something intrinsically related to Romani music. And I would hope that would be enough to prove to anyone that they are humans, just like us, that they have friends and families, people they love and care for.
