Grazie Franco,

I think this i t the best pair between Von Gloeden's magic photos and musici!

Many thanks!

Does anyone know the title of the music?

[empsun1969]

Complimenti. Hai evitato le nudità frontali che pure caratterizzano il lavoro di von Gloeden ed erano del tutto prive di caratteri pornografici... ma il video rimane affascinante.

Ciao @empsun1969. Si, come dici ho (purtroppo) evitato i nudo frontale perché il YouTube non lo permette e non volevo rischiare la censura o altre penalità. Comunque Grazie! Fra qualche settimana posterò un video su Tony Patrioli, fotografo italiano che é considerato il nuovo Gloeden. Lo conosci?

Thanks, I really enjoy to hear this wonderful music and have a look at those splendid portraits!

only one word: great!

[Franco3855]

@wolfhh21 Hi! Thanks for your comment! I'm fascinated by this German photographer. I would love just to be his assistant…

wow this guy had a vision since then, it was never easy in that region

[Franco3855]

@rayoflightcanada Hi there! Thanks for your comment. W Von Gloeden was an intelligent, amazing and sensitive photographer and the "naiveness" charm of the Sicilian peasants at this time, having a German Baron working in the island, allowed him to express his fantasies in these amazing and stylish photos. Stay happy.

Thank you for this lovely tribute to von Gloeden's work. I am the proud owner of one of his images, an albumen print circa 1900. Warmest wishes to you, and thanks again!

[Franco3855]

Hi UncleNathan , Thank you very much for your nice compliments. You left me thrilled, especially knowing that you are the owner of one of the images (Which one?). W von Gloeden’s work is as fascinating as was his life. Specialists say the photos are ethnographic studies, but what I see is the German poetry melting in love with the gorgeous Taormina young natives. All the best to you.

[Franco3855]

Hi 001fatalerror, Thanks for you kind comments. I appreciated that. W Von Gloeden was an intelligent, amazing and sensitive photographer. By the way I love piano music too and you play very well. Hope to hear more from you!

[scussune]

Splendid video, what is the music please?

[Franco3855]

Hi Scussune,

Thanks for your compliments.

The music is the "Flower Duet" aria from the Lakmè opera by Delibes. This is a house version. Just google "Flower Duet" for more info.

All the best
