Well there have been several birthdays to cover here in March and yet there is one more to add, this one going back to 1732 ( he is a bit hard to find sometimes because he is Mr.Hayden ).

A couple of weeks back I mentioned the " Main Richard " of Classical Music namely Richard Wagner. Time now however to mention another Richard, that is to say: Richard Strauss ( born in 1864 ).

Recently we mentioned Richard Wagner in this thread and then I happened to come across some info on Opera Houses. If you find yourself in Milan you could of course visit the beautiful Teatro Alla Scala with it's 6 tiers of box seats. Or being in Paris one can go to the Paris Opera House to see if the Phantom is in residence. But what if you are out in the jungles of Brazil ? Well just go to Manus and the Teatro Amazonas. This gem was built in 1896 during the height of the Rubber Boom ( both Jenny Lind and Enrico Caruso appeared there ).

I recently came across the name of Charles Widor ( 1845 - 1937 ). Best known as a composer of music for pipe-organs he was also a music teacher of Albert Schweitzer ( before Schweitzer moved off to Africa ).

When we enter the world of Bach, Beethoven, Brahms & Mozart ( & all of the other greats ) we find a vast amount of beautiful music. So of course we often get to hear some pieces that we may have forgotten or perhaps have never heard. Earlier today I got to listen to the Cello Sonata in G Minor Op 65 by Chopin. It is a unique piece played only by a Cello and a Piano ( yes there is also a Piano, of course lol ).

Recently I was going thru several old records here ( Yes they spin around and around lol ) and I came across " Bernstein's Greatest Hits ". Included in this album are Herold's Zampa Overture, Falla's Ritual Fire Dance and Bernstein's own Overture To Candide, etc. I got this record many years ago thru the Columbia House Record Club ( later they sold music-tapes and Cds ). Today I learned that this outfit is now closed down for good, yup things do keep on changing.
Liked Arnie's impersonation of him in The Terminator:" Al be Bach."
--- Thanks for the post and the cute joke Kaynight. Today it is the turn of Bartok ( born this date in 1881 ).
