Mozart - Piano Concerto No. 23, Adagio - Agnel, Ducros

[amadeus5889]

This is inspired and bold. What I would have given to have been sitting in the front row for this performance, just to see the looks on everyone's faces. Two musical cultures so far removed, yet knitted gently together measure by measure. Almost like watching two rivers slowly flowing into each other. It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.

It was a joy to hear such a sensitive and interesting approach to this masterpiece. Love to you, sir!

[kwastormayt]

this masterpiece would be magical if it had been played with Kanun

[civileso]

@kwastormayt I can imagine that.

[AnthonyPaulO]

I don't think the intro was obnoxious or long at all, as a layman I found it very informative.

[FlameGer17]

It would be great, when the cultures, which are represented by the both instruments, would come together in such a harmony like this...

[aydangasimi]

this is magical. who would have ever guessed that these two different kinds of music would go together so beautifully. they perfectly rhyme together! one needs to feel these with heart not brain...totally love it!

[Kerintune]

I just love the intro. It suggests the very possibilities of completely different sounds inspiring a genius, such as Mozart, to write something else, as he did when writing K.311.

[Egorend]

i wish people could be more creative than playing the same old shit over and over, just with different instruments, which don't add very much at all. i don't believe mozart would've orchestrated and written for the oud this way. the intro is long but moreover sounds totally out of place - what do some of those scales have to do with mozart? this is merely a novelty, if not a masturbation.

[saudinamber]

Anthony Robbins rave machine called the head-Arab oud and we use it only on Bmusiqana

It's a pretty piano beauty of the European

[lntegral]

your introduction is obnoxious and long

[civileso]

So sue me!

[desertdude1234]

@civileso your introduction was nice and long

[EutuveX]

@lntegral

please, don't sue him...a big finger is enough...for an arrogant azzhole !

[Frenrichnermorti]

the intro is way too fucking long

[dudehorner]

very impressive - thank you!

[Wayannik]

same music as in the new world

beautiful

[xenio72]

civileso sei un genio!

[Kalibasa]

Does anyone know where I can find music like the intro? It's not what I expected (haha I thought I was getting a piano concerto!) but it's beautiful. I'd really appreciate it, thanks :)

A Very Nice Piece of music, a marriage

between "The Oud" and Classic band.

This is a Fantastic Part of Music.

[comic4relief]

i think Mozart was devoted to many things, music above and beyond all. He endeavored to understand how music could relate all things in such a way as to appeal to the human psyche. No one is immune to his charm.

[mehdil]

I like the positiv spirit of Mozart.Even he was very devoted catholic,for him it was not problem to compose music of some people who were completely oposite religion.This is good prove of his greatnnes.I simply adore Mozart.I realy do.

[sg1741]

I thought Mozart was only diplomatically catholic and rather in essence he was a freemason

[ipekavenk]

I'm from istanbul and i koved it very much!

[flamencoprofundo]

Hi this is really special, and the photos are perfect. I mean, the Osmanic empire reached very close to where Mozart lived, and he was very interested in the orientalism of his period, take for instance "The Abduction from the Serail.

The Oud's melancholic sound suites perfectly this part of the concert.

Thanks for sharing!!!

[Kerintune]

Just wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing your work, civileso! (five stars)

[hswatnik]

excellent work, very interesting, can't be beat-

[grenouilleGG]

What a beautiful montage! I knew some of Ara Güler's photographs of "old Istanbul" (led by Orhan Pamuk), but these are even more remarkable. Well done, all.

[civileso]

Ah, yes! I was actually searching for Guler's photos myself but they don't date as far back as these ones, of course. Though I find his photograpy a bit too dark and gloomy at times, I love his eye for framing things. But these images here are really special, to say the least.

[civileso]

I mean "photography". :)

[margotlorena]

what would you do without mark? he is your "dealer" ahha he can get you anything....

[civileso]

You mean, Marc? Well, almost anything.. 

How did you like the performance though?

[margotlorena]

yes, MarC sorry :) I loved the improvisation at the beggining and the pictures really gave it a special feeling.
