Music that almost brings a tear....


Recommended Posts

Is anyone else having trouble playing these video links using a iPhone/iPad?

 

Tranz, me too, am getting about 50% success rate using iPhone 6 Plus or iPad pro , iOS 9.2.1, for the video links using the Computer Audiophile iOS app.

 

Eva Cassidy link not work, half the classical.

Nina Simone did work, also Tom Waits.

A beautiful duet of Don McLean accompanied by Chet Atkins. IMO, the poor picture quality does not detract from the great music.

 

BTW, I suspect that the problem some are having playing videos on IOS devices may be attributed to Apple not supporting Adobe Flash.

Lovely performance, Allan. And of a favorite song of mine. I've never come across that before. Thanks for sharing!

AC/DC Highway to Hell, because I can't help thinking about the particularly tragic death that Bon Scott met shortly after recording the song.

This recording by Alicia de Larrocha (Spanish Songs and Dances) is subtle, almost wistful but with with a certain note of sadness or regret. Mompou possessed a lyric poetical style similar to Chopin. The whole disc is worth a quiet listen, on a cold winter evening with a glass of warm sangria.

That I ask questions? I am more concerned about being stupid than looking like I might be.
