Haydn string quartets Opus 50, "Prussian."

The Kodaly Quartet, recorded in Hungary-- early digital 1980's.

Magnificent performances and recording.

You can hear Count Dracula singing in the background.

Mark Knopfler
What It Is

The drinking dens are spilling out
There's staggering in the square
There's lads and lasses falling about
And a crackling in the air
Down around the dungeon doors
The shelters and the queues
Everybody's looking for
Somebody's arms to fall into
And it's what it is
It's what it is now

There's frost on the graves and the monuments
But the taverns are warm in town
People curse the government
And shovel hot food down
The lights are out in the city hall
The castle and the keep
The moon shines down upon it all
The legless and asleep

And it's cold on the tollgate
With the wagons creeping through
Cold on the tollgate
God knows what I could do with you
And it's what it is
It's what it is now

The garrison sleeps in the citadel
With the ghosts and the ancient stones

High up on the parapet
A Scottish piper stands alone
And high on the wind
The highland drums begin to roll
And something from the past just comes
And stares into my soul

And it's cold on the tollgate
With the Caledonian Blues
Cold on the tollgate
God knows what I could do with you
And it's what it is
It's what it is now
What it is
It's what it is now

There's a chink of light, there's a burning wick
There's a lantern in the tower
Wee Willie Winkie with a candlestick
Still writing songs in the wee wee hours
On Charlotte Street I take
A walking stick from my hotel
The ghost of Dirty Dick
Is still in search of Little Nell
And it's what it is
It's what it is now
Oh what it is
What it is now

Emir Kusturica & the non Smoking Orchestra: I heard them last night but they still resonates in my morning-head. Great energetic and funny music.

Last friday I went to a concert: Myriam Cubelos, a great folk singer of my city -one of my favourites- and Ligia Piro from Buenos Aires (the daughter of a famous tango singer: Susana Rinaldi).
Miss Ligia and her group made a great jazz show. It´s the first time I heard "alive" to sing jazz, bossa and blues songs that way. Her voice is a strange mix of Billie Holliday with Liza Minelli.
So, I´m listening Billie Holliday, Jobim & Bill Evans again.

It´s a beatle week.
Last saturday I went to in concert at open air in the Monumento where a group of my city that makes beatles covers played with a local classical orchestra and chorus. I love beatles songs, so it was great.
I´m also listening "John Lennon acoustic". That was my present to my brother in his birthday in return to the his U2 cd for christmas.
