Thank you for the pictures from Cologne Melaten Cemetery excellent photos. Did you take them?. And for the wonderful music. I came to this music today as a result of watching a "Inspector Morse" episode called "The Settling of the Sun". In the film Morse holds and shows the camera the record jacket of this Barbara Hendricks performance.

Muito se fala dos mestres europeus...e tão pouco se fala dos mestres nacionais como Heitor Villa Lobos e Antonio Carlos Gomes. As Bachianas é uma prova da genialidade de nosso mestre, assim como o Guarani de Carlos gomes.

Villa roubou minha alma por isso tenho que ouvir suas canções para me sentir vivo...

"Eldon Fox, violoncelle & 7 cellos from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra" A violincelle IS a cello. So its really just 8 cellos. I guess Eldon Fox must be a bigheaded dude that he needs a distinctions from the other cellists. What are THEIR names, I wonder.

Carlos Gomes nao se compara a Villa Lobos

Villa-Lobos and his music surelly make me proud of being born in Brazil!

Although his great talent, he has never had the success of european musicians. A pitty...

Sensacional Villa Lobos!Imortal!Música eternizada pela beleza de um grande gênio!Brasileiro !!Se tivesse nascido por agora não teria a menor chance ,num país cuja musicalidade assombra o mundo,mas a oportunidade é comandada por uma mídia tacanha e adversa a grandes obras,sejam elas clássicas ou populares!

In fact, it shows that the american people don't read other langueges.

Translation (attempt): At the Afternoon, a cloud rose slowly and transparent over the universe, dreamy and beautiful! The moon softly appears at infinity, preparing itself like a damsel and dreamily in its yearnings of the soul to be beautiful to the heavens and to the earth. I hear the nature´s screams! Then, the birds stop with their sad complaints. The sea reflects all his wealth ... Soft light of the moon awakes. I feel cruel longing that makes me laugh and cry!

[radiovaral]

Tarde uma nuvem rósea lenta e transparente. Sobre o espaço, sonhadora e bela! Surge no infinito a lua docemente, Enfeitando a tarde, qual meiga donzela Que se apresta e a linda sonhadoramente, Em anseios d'alma para ficar bela Grita ao céu e a terra toda a Natureza! Cala a passarada aos seus tristes queixumes E reflete o mar toda a Sua riqueza... Suave a luz da lua desperta agora A cruel saudade que ri e chora!

This music talks about the beauty of the universe.
