Beautiful! Very relaxing and yet cheerful at the same time. After listening to the video you shared I read a little wiki bio on Stivell. Found out he performed on stage in 1968 at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall with a group I like -the Moody Blues! Couldn't find the video of that but did find an old video of the Moody Blues from 1968. Funny to watch how the audience dressed and danced back then. A bit of nostalgia I guess.

Thank you PrimeTimer!
It is not surprising that Alan Stivell and The Moody Blues performed at the same venue
and in a way they share a lot and are not too unsimilar with the feelings they evoke in the listener.
... When I first heard the Moody Blues with their song "Nights in White Satin" I thought it was meant as
"Knights in White Satin" and after doing my research I thought it might be connected to the Crusaders .... :laugh:

One of my favourite pianists calls himself "cubus" and can only be heard on "youtube"
and he plays here Georg Friedrich Haendel's "Sarabande" :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awAvlVWS3Xg

I have learned a lot from this pianist and whenever I listen to him I feel that he has the most perfect timing and he also faithfully interprets the work of the composer.

And here the pianist Maksim Mrvica plays the same piece by Haendel, very modernized and not to everyone's musical taste... and one of the listeners wrote:
"Handel's response if he were alive to hear this performance: "Interesting piece. It sounds slightly familiar. Who's the composer?"

Here "cubus" plays the Chaconne by Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706) which consist of a theme and 21
variations. In this video the theme and the first 10 variations are played.

One of my favourite pieces is played here on the organ and composed by J. C. F. Fischer (1656-1746) "Chaconne" (Suite Euterpe. Musikalischer Parnassus, 1738ca.)
Johann Caspar Ferdinand Fischer was a German middle-Baroque composer and he was instrumental in introducing the French keyboard suite to German-speaking countries.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 – 1750) greatly admired his works, and would study them greatly before writing masterpieces of his own.

Performed by Luis Antonio González, musicologist and leader of Los Músicos de Su Alteza, on the historic organ of San Pablo church in Zaragoza (Aragón, Spain)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aX9OHpQC1Pw

... and here is the same Chaconne performed wonderfully on the harpsichord by Kathy Perl :

My favourite harpsichordist Scott Ross (March 1, 1951 – June 13, 1989) plays here a wonderful piece by François Couperin (10 November 1668 – 11 September 1733, a French Baroque composer, organist and harpsichordist, known as Couperin le Grand ("Couperin the Great"). Scott Ross plays here Couperin's "Les Barricades Mystérieuses".
Scott Ross was a United States-born harpsichordist who lived in France and Canada for many years. His recordings include the first complete recording by a single performer of the 555 harpsichord sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti and his great musicality and perfect timing are amazing.The title "Les Barricades Mystérieuses" is probably meant to be evocative rather than a reference to a specific object, musical or otherwise. Scott Ross, in a master-class filmed and distributed by Harmonia Mundi, likens this piece to a train. This clearly cannot have been the precise image Couperin was trying to convey, but it is easy to hear in "Les Barricades" the image of a heavy but fast-moving object that picks up momentum. In that sense, the mysterious barricades are perhaps those which cause the "train" to slow down and sometimes stop... This hypothesis seems to fit in with the pedagogical aims of Couperin's music, since the composer presents himself as something of a specialist in building sound through legato, style luthé playing... Moreover, it seems to form a set with the following piece "Les Bergeries". This latter piece, though more melodic than "Les Barricades", set in a higher register and more bucolic in feeling, is also an exercise in using a repetitive motif (in this case a left hand ostinato evocative of the musette) to build sound without seeming mechanical or repetitive. Both "Les Barricades Mystérieuses" and "Les Bergeries", then, are exercises in building (and relaxing) sound and momentum elegantly.

One of the greatest pianists of our times, Emil Gilels, plays here Rachmaninov's - Song No 14, Op 34 - Vocalise, which was composed and published in 1915.
In this song with its melancholic longing Rachmaninov expresses his deepest vulnerability.

This is one of the most wonderful and calming melodies called 'Vocalise',
composed by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff (1873 – 1943) as a lullaby for his two young daughtes.
Paul Barton is the pianist and he plays on a FEURICH 218 piano

Prime Timer and Kristina,

I just listened to the songs you recommended in the last couple of posts on this thread (which is new to me).  So great!  And Kristina that Christmas video is wonderful.

I'm going to have to go further back in this thread to listen to more music. When I can figure out how to post the links, I'll post some of my favorites.

Given some of the reaction ( :stressed;  :pray;  :'(  >:D  :( ) to the news this week that Trump has been elected President, this song came to mind...Now c'mon, at one time or another we have all felt how Dwight did halfway thru this song. Mr. Sarcasm...

Thank you Kathy for your kind words and lovely thoughts...
 ... Music becomes very important when we have health-issues and the fact that many composers had health-issues themselves, makes it so much easier for us to feel understood and comforted by their compositions... These days doctors often recommend for patients to search and find their special music where they feel at home with, because it has been noticed that music can act as medicine and soothe the mind enough to take-on and carry-on the battle with a chronic disease...  :grouphug;

One of my favourite pieces of music is called "In the Steppes of Central Asia" and was composed by Alexander Porfiryevich Borodin (12 November 1833 – 27 February 1887) a Russian Romantic composer of Georgian origin, as well as a doctor and a chemist. He was one of the prominent 19th century Russian composers known as The Mighty Handful, a group dedicated to producing a uniquely Russian kind of classical music, rather than imitating earlier Western European models. Borodin is best known for his symphonies, his two string quartets, In the Steppes of Central Asia and his opera Prince Igor. Music from Prince Igor and his string quartets was later adapted for the US musical Kismet. A notable advocate of women's rights, Borodin was a promoter of education in Russia and founded the School of Medicine for Women in St. Petersburg.
