That is nice but not sure about the violin solo, it seems to speak of individual competence too much instead of an overall harmony of a whole.

But that is the difference between a sonata and a symphany, one is a solo and the other features the full orchestra, there is a place for both. or a solo instrument.

Yes. Agreed.

At one time I had an LP of Julian Bream playing classical guitar, and listened to it a lot,

For the younger readers an LP is a 12" vinyl disk turning at 33 1/3 RPM with groves impressed into it that carried the music to be picked up by a stylis and electronically amplified. In spite of the newer technology where were some very high quality LP's produced and if played on high quality equipment, sounded as good as any CD. I had joined a record club that required the return of a card to 'not get' the featured selection, and I had indicated Classical as my prefered genra, so I ended up with a lot of records.

Al Stewart - Roads To Moscow
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_ZG6tRG ... re=related

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Stewart wrote: The Wehrmacht's invasion of the Soviet Union in World War II is the focus of "Roads to Moscow", from Past, Present, and Future album. There are references to both Wehrmacht General Heinz Guderian and also to the German Tiger tank and to the brutal treatment of returning Russian soldiers, which is drawn from the Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn book The Gulag Archipelago.

What man is capable of, everything pales to insignificance after watching this.

hi reasonvemotion,

i appreciated your video, and recently i posted in the poem thread about something that happened to me recently unpurposefully and unexpectedly about Russians and things.

i also mentioned deep feelings of warmth.

haven't felt that since, aside from last night after watching the video you posted.

i went out for a cigarette and all of a sudden the same warmth happened.

i myself do not think that there will be some future Russian conquering of the earth. and if something ever happens in the future, to me anyways, it certainly would not be entirely Russian.

however, i wonder now that we are in part on earth mostly scattered, in the future, maybe in a thousand years, or a million years, a buried stone, so to speak i guess, may take form in some way. i cannot describe the feeling of warmth.

Thank you both. I found the song and accompanying video made by the fan quite moving. I am also a fan of the troubadour Al Stewart, who weaves historical tales so well but is best known commercially for The Year of the Cat, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdwUY7TknS4.

hi Lynn, thanks, i've always liked Al Stewart and the song 'Year of the Cat' as well, but i've never heard anything from him aside from what i've heard on the radio. so i really appreciated the recent link (along with the video). i agree, he is a wonderful historical tale weaver:)

some of the recent links reminded me of a book i read once called 'Micheal and Natasha', more than a love story it expressed (supposed) facts such as most of all the turmoil the earths people have been through are related to elite inter-family squabbles. i never knew until i read that book, that most of the royal families and leaders of these various nations at war are actually related! and apparently much of ww1 and 2 had quite a bit to do with Taichovsky and his ex wife! oiy voi
