I remember it from the movie La Dolce Vita. Nina Rota, who composed the movie's score even did his own (excellent) arrangement for it.

:)

The Godfather Waltz

I heard this tune hour ago on a TV advert.

Let's Face The Music And Dance

Ray Charles - I can't Stop Lovin You

Where have all the flowers gone? - Joan Baez

Los Indios Tabajaras - Lisboa Antigua (1965)

My goodness, the first time I heard this song, I was a teenager!

Cliff Richard And The Shadows The Young Ones

That is definitely Cliff Richard at his most bearable.

So you are not keen on him then?:D


Today's Remy's thread reminded me of this.

Platters - Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

He's not so bad there. :D
I'm impressed with the sound quality by the way.

This is an early Phil Spector number. I think it has a strangely eerie sound to it despite being a cheerful 50's pop song.

Offenbach - Barcaroll, from "The Tales of Hoffmann."

Not familiar with Offenbach... very lively orchestration.

I saw their names on a paper yesterday. (Farewell tour?)

Chase & Dave - Aint No Pleasing You.

I think you like serious ones, mines are more like light pieces.

Traumerei Scheumann

Wonderful... it's hard to believe this year is the Schumann's 200th birthday. He'll be getting a lot of attention at BBC Proms.

This one is probably lighter than Offenbach or Johann Strauss, but I listen to him quite a lot. Not to be confused with his father J.S. Bach.

It was so~ hot yesterday. I wished I was near the sea.

La Mer. Charles Trenet

Father, yes (may be just one I know) but J.C. Bach is not familiar at all.

I did not know about 200th birthday.
Regarding BBC Proms, I have been to Royal Albert Hall once, it was around late 1980s. I accompanied my nephew from Japan who liked classical music. He plays violin as a hobby.

This was one of the programme that day.
Haydn "The Clock"

Tango One

Het Wilhelmus - National Anthem of The Netherlands


National Anthem of Spain

Sadly I can't make it to the Proms this year, maybe I'll make a point of his next year. I have yet to go to the Royal Albert Hall

I think an outdoor concert is fun as well.
Some years ago, I had a picnic with my neighbours at Kenwood Park in London. Every summer they have concerts at beside lake.
We checked their programme and picked the day Buena Vista Social Club performed . They were all the way from Havana.
We could not see the stage of course, but clearly we could hear their music and had a fantastic time.:hugesmile:
One of music was;

Helen Shapiro - You Don't Know

Tchaikovsky, The Nutcracker, Waltz of the Flowers.

The White Cliffs Of Dover - Vera Lynn
