Three favourite divinities.....Merman, Russell and Streisand
The following three movie clips are from three of my favourite films of all time. In each film stars three of my favourite divinities. They bring sparkle and wit to life and they do it so absolutely damn great!
I know it's silly but I love it
What a cast! Every comic actor in Hollywood at the time including the divine La Merman, as Cole Porter like to call her. It's silly but this is another of my very favourite films of all time!
Finest courtroom scene ever
"What's Up Doc" is one of my very fav movies of all time. This is the finest courtroom scene ever filmed. Barabra Streisand is absolutely divine!

Hamilton Harty's Piano Concerto/1a
Sadly we have another rather unknown Piano Concerto by an English composer. Upon hearing it for the first time, I thought it reminded me of Rachmaninov, stylistically speaking. Many hearings later and I find this to be an original work. Listen to the opening theme and let it carry you away!
Discover and enjoy!
Frank Bridge's Piano Chamber Concerto/1
This is a beautiful and haunting work that sadly should be better known. Do give it a listen to and discover how very rewarding it is to get to know this work.
Discover and enjoy!
