Take Me To Your Lieder

Schubert's' lied has always been part of my listening regime ever since 1992 when I first heard these songs on Radio 3 followed by an article in the music bible, Wire magazine. Graham Jonson did the complete lied across 35 Hyperion single CDs including Die Schone Mullerin and Winterreise.
Here is a 75-minute selection for this Sunday -

Sunday Slouching

Sundays now seem to be my weekly pizza day lol!
Yesterday after I had an English traditional breakfast at my local Wetherspoons pub I waited till the afternoon to do my covert dessert visit in Sittingbourne.
I had the choc o lot waffle with whipped cream and a hazelnut latte. It was sumptuous and delicious and yes, very naughty!



For my night snack, I had the black cheddar on toast, but actually found it tasted better on ordinary brown bread rather than a toastie as the flavour is retained if not melted.





Today I have been listening to the songs of Schubert, some Bob Dylan and now Bill Evans.

Tomorrow, an early start as I will be in London to try out some Vietnamese food and soon Japanese food as well as a visit to Rays jazz Shop and MVE.

Just Wondering

Which of the five senses would you say is your strongest?

What resolution, if any, for the New Year did you make?

What was the last movie you went to? What did you think of it?

Schubertiana #2

More excursions into things Schubertian

Atom™ ‎ - Winterreise

Atom™ ‎ - Voralpenthema

Moving from Frankfurt to Chile in the late 1990s enabled Uwe Schmidt aka Atom™ to escape the tyranny of the dancefloor and develop his innumerable electronic simulacra, from Señor Coconut’s Latinised Kraftwerk to his latest minimal reinterpretations of Schubertian Romanticism.

Atom™ - Streuung Teil I

Winterreise was conceived as the soundtrack to an exhibition of Schmidt’s photographs in 2010. Taken during a European tour in winter, they evoke the atmosphere of a Caspar David Friedrich landscape, or Brueghel’s Hunters In The Snow. Schmidt found that it subtly coloured the whole work. “On Winterreise, there are a couple of pieces from Schubert compositions, mainly little parts – just like a chord. And I threw them in my sampler, and everything that came out of my sampler kind of mangled with the other information… suddenly I realised that all the textures I was making for that album had a romantic feeling, to me, heavy and melancholy, but not sad… I realised it’s because I used that millisecond of Schubert, and it turned into an oscillator for texture – and I found that very interesting, that in the technological process, it kind of prevailed. That was very interesting to explore on that album.”



Uwe Schmidt.



Enjoy.
