Johann Strauss II "Der Zigeunerbaron" Overture

sois la ostiaaa xD

And who is that criminal camera that cuts the conductor off at 4:52, just when he seems to start to enjoy himself and give us a smile?

Claudio Abbado was right!

Guys and Gals,i would like you to know something.

Be it Male or Females,i certainly do believe they HAVE to go through an audition to join the orchestra. It is then up to their abilities to qualify into an orchestra,especially one with a name and standard to uphold.

absence of women from "high art". "Oh, of course it's unfortunate, but there never really has been a woman around who reached the apex of human expression." Nonsense!
