Eduard Elar, Salut d'Amour, Op. 12,

Salut d'Amour, Op. 12, is a musical work composed by Edward Elgar in 1888, originally written for violin and piano.
Elgar finished the piece in July 1888, when he was engaged to be married to Caroline Alice Roberts, and he called it "Liebesgruss" ('Love's Greeting') because of Miss Roberts' fluency in German. When he returned home to London on 22 September from a holiday at the house of his friend Dr. Charles Buck, in Settle, he presented it to her as an engagement present. Alice, for her part, offered him a poem called "The Wind at Dawn" which she had written years before and which he soon set to music.
The dedication was in French: "à Carice". "Carice" was a combination of his wife's names Caroline Alice, and was the name to be given to their daughter born two years later.
It was not published (by Schott & Co.) until a year later, and the first editions were for violin and piano, piano solo, cello and piano, and for small orchestra. Few copies were sold until Schott changed the title to "Salut d'Amour" with Liebesgruss as a sub-title, and the composer's name as 'Ed. Elgar'. The French title, Elgar realised, would help the work to be sold not only in France but in other European countries: Schott was a German publisher, with offices in Mainz, London, Paris and Brussels.
The first public performance was of the orchestral version, at a Crystal Palace concert on 11 November 1889, conducted by August Manns.

"Salut d'Amour" has certainly been published in more different forms and arrangements than any other work of Elgar's.

The Romanian-born conductor, Ion Marin, received his musical training as a composer, conductor and pianist at the George Enescu Academy in Bucharest, the Mozarteum in Salzburg and the Accademia Chigiana in Siena.

After leaving his homeland of Rumania in 1986, Ion Marin became one of the most interesting composers on today´s music scene, and currently lives as an Austrian citizen in Switzerland. During his first engagement as a resident conductor at the Vienna State Opera (during Claudio Abbado's administration as director) he conducted a large repertoire of works ranging from Mozart to Alban Berg in the years between 1987 and 1991. He developed his outstanding reputation in the symphonic field - especially in late romantic and 20th century works - by conducting such sterling ensembles as the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, Montréal Symphony, Orchestre National de France and Dresden Staatskapelle. He has worked with such prominent soloists as Yo-Yo Ma, Gidon Kremer, Martha Argerich, Sarah Chang, Yuri Bashmet and Frank Peter Zimmermann.

Hi,

A really good video clip, certainly extract from the original blu-ray dvd.

1.What kind of soft do you use for the encoding job?

2.Why does kind of blu-ray doesn't use a classical dvd menu ?

Using a dvd menu you can read a piece by piece concert. Thanks for the answer.

Looking for the size of your video file I found(854x480) Is it the real encoding or do you use another size for the encoding way?

Have a good day and keep on going sending your best choice.
