    I share with you two of my favourite online radio stations:

    At the moment I am listening mostly to Klassic Radio - Barock http://klassikradiobarock.radio.net/

    but I also very much enjoy Venice Classic Radio http://www.veniceclassicradio.eu/ (although sometimes the feed is patchy)


    ENJOY!!

    Beautiful! thank you Star Tsar! I had not heard of Broschi but here is more info about him from here : http://www.spainisculture.com/en/obr...farinelli.html.

    The famous Neapolitan castrato Carlo Broschi (1705-1782) took his artistic name from his first protectors, the Farinas. In 1737 he was called by Isabel de Farnesio to lighten Philip V’s melancholic humour. During the reign of Fernando VI, Farinelli directed all the musical life of the court, producing operas, designing stage sets, etc. In 1750 the King made him a Knight of Calatrava, and himself bestowed on him the insignias which he wears in the portrait. On the eve of his death, the musician donated the work to the nuns of the Order of Calatrava, whose church is close to the Academy.

    Here is a clip from the movie Farinelli:



    One of the comments below the video says:
    "Although Dionisi provided the speaking voice, Farinelli's singing voice was provided by the Polish soprano, Ewa Malas-Godlewska and a countertenor, Derek Lee Ragin, who were recorded separately then digitally merged to recreate the sound of a castrato."

    One may ask, at what price Art?

    Here is another gem:

    I had not heard of Michel Corrette until last week (thankyou Baz!)

    Michel Corrette (1707 – 1795) was a French organist, composer and author of books on musical theory and practice. A prolific composer, Corrette composed ballets and divertissements for the stage, and many concertos, notably 25 concertos comiques. Aside from these works and concertos for organ, he also composed sonatas, songs, chamber works, harpsichord pieces, cantatas and other sacred vocal works.

    Michel Corrette Six Organ Concertos: Treat yourself to this wonderful experience.

    I am listening to this wonderful choral music by Tchaikovsky today. (Not Baroque but certainly Beautiful!)

    I feel humanity is on the cusp of something VERY significant and I like the energy of this video. Enjoy!
