THE BEST CONCERT

THE BEST CONCERT

Leading the veteran Orchestra Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Zubin Mehta’s magnificent presence was happy with the fans paid to Asturias Auditorium concerts scheduled by the Department of Culture of the City of Oviedo. Stalls, arenas, throughout the hotel itself, crammed the public wonders expert in music.

Before going on stage, with the elegant style of men and women born in India, and the weight of the few conductors of his stature, Mehta received in his dressing room Oviedo Mayor Gabino de Lorenzo.

Meanwhile, amateurs and fans kept coming, jamming the Main Hall Auditorium

Rimsky-Korsakov’s Sheherazade and The Rite of Spring by Stravinsky from the hand of Zubin Mehta. Of Oviedo, to heaven.

/..../ I didn’t see it coming
I’m just not in the running

Take me on a train ’cos I’m not flying
I can see the world from a different side
Read about us in the morning papers
When we make it alive

I didn’t see it coming
I’m just not in the running

And we don’t need a lifetime
We’re following the right line

Letters to Juliet

Letters to Juliet

I have recently seen the film Letters to Juliet which was released in 2010. Although it is an American film, almost all the story takes place in Italy. It is a love story about an old woman who travels to Italy looking for the man she loved when she was young.

I think that the actors and the director do a really good work and the music matches perfectly with the different scenes what creates a lovely atmosphere. As you can see, I really enjoyed it, I think mostly because of the different settings and the charming story.

Why are there so few great women artists?

According to tradition, in the past a woman’s place was in the home, she was under the tutelage, first of her father and then of her husband. Her main duties were to be a wife, a mother, and then run a household. If a woman escaped these duties to become a artist it was an exception to the rule.

Today there are many great women artists. It was only in the 20th century when the mass of women became eligible (legally as well as culturally) to receive the highest levels of artistic training. So this brings us to the problem we face today, copyrights. Most great women artists are under the protection of copyrights and their estates have choosen not to allow their images to be used....

´The history of all times, and of today especially, teaches that... women will be forgotten if they forget to think about themselves`.

Churches of the Kingdom of the Asturias

Churches of the Kingdom of the Asturias

Built starting in the 9th century, the churches around Oviedo are a testimony to the small Christian kingdom of Asturias during the splendour of the Emirate of Cordoba. Their pre-Romanesque architecture, which holds a unique place in the history of art, had a considerable influence on the development of medieval architecture in the Iberian peninsula.

Holidays in Malta

Last summer -in July- my wife and I decided to go to Malta on holiday.

The Maltese Islands are located in the very heart of the Mediterranean Sea, just 90 Km south of Sicily.

The islands consist of Malta, Gozo and Comino and have population of 400,000 with over 300 days of sun per year. Between Malta and Gozo lies the tiny island of Comino a perfect retreat. Comino is a relaxed, carefree paradise. Malta has served as an important port throughout history.

In 1964, the islands gained independence from Great Britain.

The most significant influence that the British left behind is the English Language.

The people are really friendly. The food is not expensive. The weather is (very good) sunny. There are many different monuments and sightseeing.

We stayed in Mellieha north of Malta in a nice hotel near a beautiful beach. We met new friends -two couples- from Bilbao and Aranjuez. 

I took a lot of photos and my wife bought some gifts.

We enjoyed and relaxed eight days …
