Hello,
after some longer break I am going to put here some music again. Cause in my country we have Easter time I am going to put here some music to match the time.
It will be Mexicana version of Johan Strauss Orchestra that is - I think - started and conducted by a Dutchman - Andre Rieu - beneath you can read what I have found both about Andre Rieu and about his life, orchestra on wikipedia portal and soon some more music from me to everyone all over the world. This music I have found is not only for Easter time I think. It is a music proper to other parts of the year too. I chose 2 performances - first performance "La Paloma" is the shorter one and another "Fiesta mexicana" is longer one.

1. La Paloma

2. Fiesta Mexicana

And here some infor from wikipedia about Andre Rieu:

André Léon Marie Nicolas Rieu (born 1 October 1949) is a Dutch violinist, conductor, and composer best known for creating the waltz-playing Johann Strauss Orchestra.

The name Rieu is of French Huguenot origin. He began studying violin at the age of five. His father, of the same name, was conductor of the Maastricht Symphony Orchestra. From a very young age he developed a fascination with orchestra. He studied violin at the Conservatoire Royal in Liège and at the Conservatorium Maastricht, (1968–1973). His teachers included Jo Juda and Herman Krebbers. From 1974 to 1977, he attended the Music Academy in Brussels, studying with André Gertler, getting his degree "Premier Prix" from the Brussels Royal Conservatory.

At University he performed the Gold And Silver Waltz by Franz Lehár. Encouraged by the audience reaction he decided to pursue the waltz form. Rieu formed the Maastricht Salon Orchestra and performed as a violinist with the Limburg Symphony Orchestra. In 1987, he created the Johann Strauss Orchestra and his own production company. Since then, his melodramatic stage performances and rock-star demeanor have for some been associated with a revival of the waltz music category. André Rieu plays a 1667 Stradivarius violin.

The Orchestra began in 1998 with 21 members but now performs with between 80 and 150 musicians. At the time the Orchestra first toured Europe, there emerged a renewed interest in waltz music. The revival began in the Netherlands and was ignited by their recording of the Second Waltz from Shostakovich's Jazz Suites. As a result, Rieu became known as the waltz King.

Rieu and his orchestra have performed throughout Europe, in North America, and Japan. Winning a number of awards including two World Music Awards, their recordings have gone gold and platinum in many countries, including 8-times Platinum in the Netherlands.

In September 2007 Rieu performed in Australia for the first time solo.

He is married to Marjorie, who works with him full-time as production manager, and has two sons, Marc and Pierre. He speaks (in order of fluency) Dutch, English, German, French, Italian and Spanish.

That's all for today.
I hope you have had nice Easter time if you celebrate it.
Soon more music from me,
LM

Hello today...
this time I decided to put here something black and white - that's just life though sometimes some colours happen too (or lack of any colours at all). Ok. So today 2 songs from latest Maria Mena album titled VICTORIA. I hope you will like the songs beneath.

1. Maria Mena Victoria
2. Maria Mena homeless

Ok. Now something more about Maria Mena (also from wikipedia):

Maria Mena was born into an artistic family, her mother, a playwright and her father, a drummer. Both Maria and her brother, Tony, are named after characters from Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story. Her mother is Norwegian and her father is Nicaraguan.

Her father played in several bands in Oslo, which influenced Mena to write and record her own music. When Mena was nine years old, her parents divorced. She suffered from depression and developed an eating disorder.

When Mena was 13 years old, she moved to live with her father. She sang and wrote lyrics as a form of self-soothing. "My Lullaby", a song from Mena's diary, expresses her pain from her parents' divorce. After pleading with her father to make a demo, he contacted some acquaintances in the music industry to record the demo. Presenting his daughter's demo to several record companies, Sony Music signed Mena to their label.

Hello,
That's me again. I have just had a look into this site and what can I see?
Do you like TIROL music? I think it is terribly boring. I am not able at the moment to scan for so many pages in this plot but I think TIROL music has appeared earlier here. Only I don't know where and when. So when I have so few time I want to put POLISH MOUNTAINEUS FOLKLORE - to me more interesting than slow German songs. And well... apart from being tuneful not interesting at all. Just like all other German songs only lyrics about Tirol when Polish mountaineous folklore is much more interesting from artistic point of view. If more sensful/less sensful I don't know. As deals lyrics - noone speaks language of poeple of mountains - so who cares? That's all. So when once again TIROL - Polish mouintaineous folklore also once again. Up to you what is really better and about what REAL problems the artists sing.

Silesia band Polish mountain music

Amazing! Beethoven is one of my favorite Classical composers. However, the Violin solo concert he composed is a very difficult one but rich in Technic to practice and make you a better violinist ( Yes, I love it).
Well, to continue the thread, I've been listening to these songs lately:

"At Last" by Etta James.
"Romeo" by Basement Jaxx.
"Beautiful liar" by Beyoncè.

Hello,

1Madonna Material girl

2 Madonna who's this girl?

3Madonna The power of good bye

4 Madonna Vogue

Madonna - queen of pop!!!!
To be continued soon.
Yours sincerely,

ps.what do you think about Madonna'c career? I'm comming back soon.
LM

Madonna is the best-selling female rock artist. She is a good business-woman She is an artist.

I don’t really like her music but I admire her ability to change her image and her music without selling her soul.
If you look into her eyes you can always see the same person. A person who like herself and other people.

Hi Elisa and everyone who cares,
well you wrote it very well...but best selling person is too little to me. Madonna is a VERY COMPLICATED PERSON. She had some background and a very clear focus in her life to MAKE CAREER. Did she succeed? What I mean in this point is we really are UNABLE to say ANYTHING about Madonna from her so called stage-life cause she was/is still???? so determined person as deals her career. And I personally think only reading her biography can help you to understand a lot of things (if it is able to help you at all).So many biographies, different biographies and only then you are able to understand ANYTHING from Madonna's career at all.Such a determined person with very obvious focus TO MAKE A CAREER in US, international, world-wide career... strange but true I think. I am not her biographer so that is all I can write.
Today next 4 hits of Madonna:
1. Madonna Nothing really matters

2. Madonna Hung up

3.Madonna American life

4. Madonna don't tell me

To be continued soon,
LM.

Hi people,
this is me again. I have decided to put here more Madonna cause I don't have other ideas whom - what to give here in these days. Think what you want but in my opinion noone really made bigger? better? career than Madonna. Maybe I have been thinking too much about Madonna lately but who knows what does it mean to think too much about this or that person (I mean I 've been thinking too much about Madonna's career - how to repeat it in this or that branch - something like that).That's all. I wanted to put here 8 more pieces from Madonna but I have noticed one can put here only 4 songs in one entry. So 4 songs now, soon 4 last songs from Madonna and other singers will appear here - my next ideas here I mean.
Soon more again.
In the meantime:
1.Madonna deeper and deeper

2.Madonna Beautiful stranger

3.Madonna Ray of light

4.Madonna sorry

All the best for all Madonna fans and not only...
LM
