To celebrate the 110th birthday of Winton Dean: Winton would still seem to be the only person to have had absolutely every surviving print and manuscript dealing with Handel's oratorios and operas in his hands.

Happy Birthday to Arcangelo Corelli who, had he not been cruelly snatched from us by time, would be 373 years old today.

The Bach 'Double' is all about the conversation. Watch as Kremer and Grindenko trade lines with an intensity that feels almost telepathic. At [04:15], they enter the Largo ma non tanto, and the lyricism here is absolutely soul-stirring. The intertwining melodies create a tapestry of sound that is both complex and deeply human. If you appreciate the art of the duet, this is the gold standard you need to hear right now. 🎶

The image shows three buildings in Riga, Latvia known as The Three Brothers. It is the oldest residential building complex in Riga. The trio was built between the 15th and 17th centuries. To the right stands the White Brother, the oldest, dating to the late 15th century. It features a white facade with characteristic crow-stepped gables, Gothic niches, and early Renaissance details. The Middle Brother was built in 1646, it has a pale yellow exterior in the style of Dutch Mannerism. Above the entrance is the Latin inscription “Soli Deo gloria!” ("Glory to God alone!"). To the left is the Green Brother, the narrowest and youngest, dating from the late 17th century. This green Baroque building features a decorative mask on its facade meant to ward off evil spirits.

Im #SchlossCorvey gibt es einige, wie hier im #Kaisersaal, wo die Äbte des Stifts Corvey als Reichsfürsten des Heiligen Römischen Reiches hohen Besuch empfingen. Heute wird er für Konzerte und Lesungen genutzt.

There's plenty at #Corvey Palace, like these #chairs in the Kaisersaal (Emperor's Hall), a ceremonial reception hall where the abbots of Corvey Abbey – acting as territorial princes of the Holy Roman Empire – received prestigious guests. Today, it is used for concerts and book readings.

This opulent hall features an ornate Baroque-style interior, adorned with intricate ceiling frescoes depicting vibrant scenes. The ceiling is embellished with elaborate stucco mouldings and decorative medallions, each showcasing detailed portraits. Large windows allow natural light to flood the space, illuminating the red-carpeted floor and rows of neatly arranged red chairs. The walls are decorated with framed paintings and gilded mirrors, adding to the grandeur. A grand chandelier hangs from the ceiling, enhancing the room’s elegance.

Histoire de changer du gris et de la pluie, partons à la Haye voir le Triomphe de Frederick-Henri de Nassau, peint par Jacob Jordaens, vers 1648-1650. Une scène qui mesure la bagatelle de 7,28m sur 7,55m, toute en sobriété et légèreté.

L’œuvre est commandée par la veuve de Frederick-Henri, Amalia von Solms, pour le petit palais du Huis ten Bosch.

La peinture représente, au centre, un homme assis sur un char doré, portant une armure et une cape rouge. Son char est tiré par 4 chevaux blancs ; il est couronné par une statue dorée. De nombreux personnages s'agitent autour de lui : en haut à gauche, un squelette (la mort) et divers anges ; en bas à gauche, 4 femmes en riches robes à la mode du 17e siècle. En bas à droite, plusieurs hommes, dont un jeune à cheval regarde vers nous. En haut, des petits anges qui tiennent une grosse guirlande végétale qui forme une sorte d'arc de triomphe, au centre duquel un écriteau porte une inscription en latin. Les couleurs sont chaudes et brillantes, la composition très dynamique, la lumière contrastée mais sans fort clair-obscur

Some #art and sophistication for today's #TongueOutTuesday and #Toothday, if you will. 🧐 These #sculptures adorn the #Zwinger Palace in #Dresden. There are loads of #statues and sculptures here, each uniquely expressive, so you'll be seeing more of them at some point. 😅
Of course, most have been restored, but around 150 of the 500 sculptures on the façades and roofs of the palatial complex are originals, making them 300 years old (though not these gentlemen).

A detailed view of the ornate stone carvings adorning the façade of the Zwinger Palace in Dresden. The image showcases intricately sculpted figures, each exhibiting dramatic expressions and dynamic poses. The figures, likely representing mythological or allegorical characters, are framed by elaborate Baroque architectural elements, including decorative scrolls and floral motifs. The craftsmanship highlights the grandeur and artistic richness of this historic palace, capturing the essence of its 18th-century architectural splendour.

Il est de première importance
Chanter
Dans la nuit mégatonne
Qui tombe

Chanter pour
Pour qu'une fraction du temps
Soit
chantée

Qu'un instant prenne en
Filature un instant
Et ainsi
De suite
