Perlman, Ma, Ax

Mendelssohn, Schumann

Do any of you like Madeleine Peyroux?
I learned about her years ago and not from any one of my friends locally,
but rather from a friend overseas in Berlin.

Here's a few of her songs that I like:

Half The Perfect World (the song my friend introduced me to)



Mostly though, her voice is exquisitely beautiful and has an ethereal quality which feels transformitive (to me): Like in this song (To Love You, All Over Again) from her "Bare Bones" album.




She's got a new album of music out, but I've yet to hear her new songs. I guess I should plan to spend an afternoon at a music store and listen to her album (The Blue Room) -- but, I found it on SoundCloud (see link below).

eta: special thanks to other members in the community for leaving selections of beautiful music to hear. Thank You!

Piano Guys....
 

I love all music but music without lyrics seems so much more powerful to me than being spoon fed the words......

@ Katniss: Me too :)

It's largely why I thought it would be a good thing
to create this music forum thread for stringed music
on stringed instruments of all types. Stringed instruments
range from Piano, Harp, Ukelele, Mandolin, Banjo, Cello, Viola, stand up Bass,
Violin's to Guitar's of all kinds to lesser known types of stringed instruments:
such as the Kora, Zarb or Voix (Ballake Sissoko & friends).

Symphonies, Chamber orchestras, Philharmonic's
(music that transforms my everyday world) :stillheart:

Riff--raff....
 

Not a song and not normally what I post but it is fun to see how many you can guess without looking at the titles....I was only good for about 30.
