“Sometimes I can only groan, and suffer, and pour out my despair at the piano.” Frédéric Chopin, 1st March 1810 – 17th October 1849 Menahem Pressler Nocturne in C-sharp Minor

The year was 1964 and it was my second time performing on the Ed Sullivan Show. Here is my 18-year-old-self's rendition of Wieniawski's Violin Concerto No. 2

The Storm of Antonio Vivaldi played by The Divertissement Chamber Orchestra. Violin solo - Ilya Ioff. Director - Lesya Melnik. Camera - A.Polagaev. Sound - A.Barashkin

Nothing makes you feel freer than listening to this music and escaping the world through this hymn to beauty and love… It’s incredible. A blessing for the ears! Purely magnificent. 𝐇𝐘𝐌𝐍𝐄 𝐀̀ 𝐋'𝐀𝐌𝐎𝐔𝐑 - 𝐄́𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐢𝐚𝐟/𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 - 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬

I receive so much joy from these mesmerizing, beautiful creations.❤️ 𝐑𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐈𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮 - 𝐘𝐢𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐚

NO MERCY!!

I already love this piece and the pipe organ, but when the camera pulled back to reveal the pipes, I actually gasped — goosebumps everywhere. A truly magnificent instrument, played by a master of his craft. Bravo, Sir. 𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐃𝐈 - 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐌 (𝐒𝐔𝐌𝐌𝐄𝐑 - 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐔𝐑

This type of animation is wonderful! 🎶💝 𝐂𝐬𝐚́𝐫𝐝𝐚́𝐬 - 𝐕𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐨 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢

I have listened to it since my youth, and today I find it even more precious because it has transported me to the land of One Thousand and One Nights. Sit back and listen to Scheherazade’s enchanting voice as she tells “The Story of the Kalendar Prince.” Magical! 📖🗣🎻✨

"In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.” - Albert Camus

Someone wise once told me, "The difference between boys and men is the price of their toys." It's true. I get to watch my grown husband turn back into a kid, real joy is contagious 🤗.

Bach in the rain. For anyone who needs something beautiful right now.
