Best of the Web This Week

I intended to get this published after I got of work last evening.  Unfortunately, the night guy called in sick and my four hour shift turned into a 14.5 hour shift ending about 6:23 this morning.  To say the least, I am dead fucking tired so I shall not tarry long here today.  The objects d'arte del'homme following the play list just might leave you breathless or maybe they will inspire a little 'activity' on your part.  I let you be the judge as you scroll down the page.  To accompany your cruise and peruse I am reprising the Cell-ebration play list as I need some mellow cello this morning to lull me into oblivion.  

The Cell-ebration play list is a celebration of marvelous music for my favorite orchestral instrument, the Cello, featuring works by multiple Composers and Performers. We begin with the live recording of the Theme from Schindler's list performed by Luka Sulic and the Zagreb Soloists then comes an original work, Disappearance for Gypsy Cello and Pipe organ written and performed by Adam Hurst. Next up is the Cello Concerto, Opus 129 by Robert Schumann performed by Radio Kamer Filharmonie conducted by Michael Schønwandt featuring Andreas Brantelid on Solo Cello followed by The Cello Song and Beethoven's 5 Secrets performed by the Piano Guys. The centerpiece for this play list in the Six Suites for Solo Cello by Johann Sebastian Bach beautifully performed by Yo Yo Ma. Then comes Michael Meets Mozart performed by The Piano Guys and Smooth Criminal performed by Luka Sulic and Stjepen Hauser. Then we turn once again to Yo Yo Ma as he performs the Cello Concerto by Sir Edward Elgar with Daniel Barenboim and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Finally we close out this Cell-ebration with a live performance of Benedictus by Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser.

Thanks for sharing part of your weekend with me, see you again on Monday.  Until next time as always, Enjoy!
