Ángelus 01 de enero 2022 Papa Francisco

EL AÑO NUEVO

Salió a la calle con miedo a sí mismo. Estaba tan rendido a lo de siempre, a sus rutinas y manías, a sus prejuicios e ideología, que no quería sacudirse esa comodidad y seguridad, y más en un mundo tan oscuro como la noche silenciosa y dolorida de su barrio. 'Mejor lo malo conocido', se decía. 

El año nuevo estaba a punto de nacer, faltaban apenas tres horas. Pero él huía de la hipocresía de los convencionalismos sociales y familiares. Se tropezó con un habitante de la calle, que carecía de sano juicio y le dio las buenas noches, que fueron correspondidas. 

Y le asaltó una sola duda: "¿Desconfías?", se preguntó. "Es mi mayor pecado. Si fuera capaz de saltar por encima de esta desconfianza que me asalta y corroe ante cada historia o ante cualquier persona. Eso sería todo un logro". 

Continuó su caminata. Y oyó que una voz interior le decía: "Confía y empezarás a ser un hombre nuevo; mirarás a tus compañeros de camino con gracia, iluminadamente". 

Y así escuchó atónito otras palabras. Su respuesta fue una sonrisa serena que le brilló en los ojos. 

¿Feliz año? ¿Por qué no puede serlo en este tiempo tan fatídico?, se preguntó. 

Y de regreso a casa, respiró y se habló: "Qué bueno sería confiar, confiar como un niño en los brazos de su padre, que le ama y proteje. "Lo intentaré", se dijo con una cierta convicción. 

Feliz año nuevo, amigos queridos. 2022.

Tchaïkovski : Lac des Cygnes, Casse-Noisette - Orchestre philharmonique ...

Sous la baguette de Mikko Franck, l’Orchestre philharmonique de Radio France s’empare d’extraits du "Lac des cygnes" et de "Casse-Noisette", les deux ballets les plus célèbres de Tchaïkovski. Un moment enchanteur et virtuose. Stars des boîtes à musique, utilisées par Disney, copiées par John Williams, la "Danse de la fée Dragée" et la "Danse des petits cygnes", respectivement extraites de "Casse-Noisette" et du "Lac des cygnes", les deux ballets les plus célèbres de Tchaïkovski, sont définitivement associées à la féerie de l’enfance. Mais derrière l’apparente légèreté de ces airs connus de tous se cachent un raffinement et une virtuosité éblouissants. On oublie souvent, en effet, que Tchaïkovski a donné ses lettres de noblesse à la musique de ballet en lui ajoutant une dimension symphonique. Comme Stravinski ou Ravel plus tard, il a fait de ce genre autrefois considéré comme mineur un formidable champ d’expérimentation, multipliant les effets et les couleurs : emprunts aux chansons populaires, étonnants jeux de timbres, comme l'association des graves du basson et des stridences de la flûte dans la "Danse chinoise" de "Casse-Noisette"… Sous la baguette de son directeur musical, le Finlandais Mikko Franck, l’Orchestre philharmonique de Radio France restitue le pouvoir enchanteur des deux partitions, tout en rendant hommage à l’audace et à l’exigence qu’y déploie le compositeur russe.

MADAMA BUTTERFLY Puccini – Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía

A guileless Japanese girl gives up everything to marry a lieutenant in the US Navy. But when he suddenly leaves the country, she is determined to wait patiently until he sails back into harbour. Live from Valencia's iconic Palau de les Arts, the audience favourite Madama Butterfly returns with soprano Marina Rebeka and tenor Piero Pretti in the leading roles. Director Emilio López’s staging culminates in the bleak landscape of Nagasaki destroyed by the atomic bomb to evoke Puccini's early outcry against the soul-crushing spirit of colonialism.

Scotland's Islands

Check your local public television station for this Rick Steves’ Europe episode or watch it on https://www.ricksteves.com/watch-read... We'll begin on the tranquil Isle of Iona, where Christianity first reached the shores of Scotland. Then we'll visit another of the Inner Hebrides, road-tripping across the Isle of Skye, where we'll explore Iron Age forts, peat fields, a venerable distillery, thatched crofter huts, and the dramatic Trotternish Peninsula. Finally, we'll sail to Orkney — more Nordic than Celtic — with its stony remnants of a thriving Iron Age civilization and evocative reminders of the 20th-century wartime harbor at Scapa Flow.

Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake, Op. 20 | Kirov Ballet, 1990 (Choreography: Mariu...

Swan Lake by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840 - 1893) is one of the most famous ballets ever. Composed in 1875/76 and premiered in 1877 at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, Swan Lake is still part of the standard repertoire of classical ballet companies today. The production of the ballet classic performed by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov in 1895 at the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg had a great influence all subsequent performances of Swan Lake. This video shows the classic Kirov production by Oleg Vinogradov, based on the choreography by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov at the Kirov Theater in Leningrad from 1990 – as a television production without an audience. It contains neither scene applause nor the long shot of the stage that is usual in live footage. Rather, in addition to overall views, there are many close-ups of individual dancers or small groups of dancers. This version includes the court jester character and has a happy ending: Siegfried fights with von Rothbart, defeats the evil magician, and is reunited with Odette at the end.

Rome, Italy 🇮🇹 - Christmas Walk 🎅- December 2021 - 4K-HDR Walking Tour (...

Rome is my favorite city in the world. Why? Because it’s the perfect blend of history and the modern world. It has it all- beautiful historical sites, amazing shops and of course; the perfect pizzas ever. So here’s my experience of Rome and why it’s soo awesome: 1) The people Italian hospitality is unbeatable. The Italians treat you like long lost buddies right from the moment you first meet. The hotel staff are extra nice and attend to your complaints within seconds. But the best about Italians is the way they speak. Their language comes out like a sweet song. It so adorbs that I wouldn’t be able to guess even if they were swearing at me. 2) The food If you think you have eaten the best Italian food ever in your own countries, you’re gravely mistaken my friend. The best Italian food comes from the source…which would be Italy in this case (well obviously). These Italian restaurants/cafe’s serve the most scrumptious ravioli, epic mouth-watering risottos and pizzas to die for. I would make a trip back to Rome simply for the food if I could. 3) The historical significance Rome’s history is divided into two parts. The Roman Empire and Medieval history. The architecture of each era is spread out into two distinct areas. The walk to the Colosseum is one of the most enchanting walks I have ever taken. There are ancient relics on either side of the pathway adding to the charm. The Medieval historical sites give off a very “Game of Thrones” vibe. 4) The Vatican This mini-city on its own would make a trip to Rome worth-it. The Vatican some of the most beautiful frescos ever in the Sistine Chapel. You will find hundreds of tour guides right outside the Vatican who will give you a tour of the church and museum. Just make sure that you don’t get ripped off! 5) The shopping Milan is technically a major fashion capital but Rome isn’t far behind. The shopping here is marvelous from boutique brands to mainstream brands. There’s a Zara store that’s four stories high (I spent around two hours there I think). After a day of hard-core shopping you can relax in a nice spot, having street-made square pizzas and watch the sun setting over the beautiful historical ruins. Bliss! Fun Fact: The Trevi Fountain– a must see site- has magical powers. Apparently whoever puts a coin in there is sure to come back to Rome one day. My mom put the coin twice and has visited Rome twice ever since. I put it as well and I sure do hope to go again someday! ***This Video Vlog is Made to show the city and the environment, if you are present on this video and you don't want to be please contact me or comment on this video and i will remove you completely & immediately ***

Bach: Sonata for Violin and Piano in G major, BWV 1019 | Frank Peter Zim...

The Sonata in G major, BWV 1019, is the crowning finale of “Sei Sounate à Cembalo certato è Violino Solo,” as the six sonatas for violin and piano by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 – 1750) were called in the earliest authenticated sources. In this recording, Frank Peter Zimmermann (violin) and Enrico Pace (piano) play the piece in the impressive Baroque setting of Polling Monastery’s over 300-year-old library, in the year 2008. Bach composed his six sonatas during his time in Weimar and Köthen (1708 - 1723). They are considered the first violin sonatas in the history of music in which the keyboard instrument does not merely provide chordal accompaniment, but functions as an equal partner to the violin. After five Sonatas in the traditional four movement form, Bach composed the Sonata in G major, BWV 1019, to have five movements, which at the time was a completely new experiment. He composed the central, third movement for just the harpsichord or piano. After 22 movements of musical interplay with the violin, Bach, as a harpsichordist, likely wanted to let off some steam for his instrument alone. German violinist Frank Peter Zimmerman is one of the world’s greatest violinists. His numerous recordings have seen him receive countless prizes. Italian pianist Enrico Pace has accompanied Zimmerman on the piano since 1998. Together, they here play the sixth of Johann Sebastian Bach’s sonatas, originally composed for violin and harpsichord. (00:00) Johann Sebastian Bach: Sonata for Violin and Piano in G major, BWV 1019 (00:31) I. Allegro (03:40) II. Largo (05:44) III. Allegro (10:29) IV. Adagio (14:56) V. Allegro

WERTHER Massenet – Opéra Orchestre National Montpellier

Charlotte only married Albert out of duty but continues to love Werther without admitting it to herself and even less to him. The young man despairs at seeing his advances rejected and will not taste the love that the young woman comes to confess too late. Adapted from Goethe's novel, Jules Massenet's opera Werther is a jewel of French lyric repertoire. Opéra Orchestre National Montpellier Occitanie shares the sober and elegant staging by Bruno Ravella – his Rosenkavalier was recently enjoyed on OperaVision – and invites the famous Canadian contralto Marie-Nicole Lemieux to sing Charlotte for the first time, alongside a young and almost exclusively French-speaking cast conducted by Jean-Marie Zietouni. Streamed on OperaVision on 24 December 2021 at 19:00 CET and available until 24 June 2022: https://operavision.eu/en/library/per...
