This is a Bob Dylan song from 1989, before Jarosz was even born.  I feel like she owns it now.  I had to keep reminding myself to breathe, listening to her.

I may have posted this previously.  The band is Turkish but the lyrics are in Hebrew (hinech yafa = thou art fair) and draw from the Song of Songs in Jewish scripture.

I'd love to have Gaon's take on the lyrics.



This style is still considered Gypsy swing (jazz Manouche) but it's become truly international.

I was listening to some tracks by the late Nubian oud master Hamza El-Din, and it showed up in the right hand column of suggestions.  I was intrigued by the santur (hammered dulcimer) since I only know that as an Appalachian instrument.  YT excursions are like that for me, filled with happy surprises and accidents.



Here is Hamza El-Din.

The lyrics to Hinech Yafa (You Are Beautiful) ...roughly translated:



In my bed, it's been weeks

Since I wished for my loved one

And I could not find him

I have searched all around the city streets

This full-of-lies city

And I could not find him

 

I was found by the guards

Who patrol the city

But my loved one, I have yet to find him

 

But I will not let him go

Until I bring him to my city

To my mother's home and into my room

Into my bed

 

You are so beautiful, my wife

And your lips are like a crimson string

Your teeth are white

Like the light of the moon

 

Who is this girl that's rising from the desert

From a faraway land

Carried upon a mighty bird's wing

Coming to my home

 

You are so beautiful, my wife

I am captivated by your eyes

Which are burning me

Like roaring flames

 

Who is this girl that's rising from the desert

From a faraway land

Carried upon a mighty bird's wing

Coming to my home

This won't embed, probably, and you'll have to click thru to YouTube.



Yuja Wang, Prokofieff Toccata in D minor.  Looks like an encore performance.  Wish I'd been there.

The Toccata in D minor, Op. 11 is a piece for solo piano, written by Sergei Prokofiev in 1912 and debuted by him late in 1916 in Petrograd.  It's one of his early pieces.



It is an extremely difficult, demanding showpiece that is very popular with virtuoso pianists and has been recorded by many.  However, I've not seen a performance on this level of virtuosity by any other pianist.  Not only does she play it with great precision, she extracts all the delicacy and melodiousness of it at the same time.  If you watch the other members of the orchestra while she plays, you can easily see how flabbergasted some of them are.



I can't say I "like" the piece although I appreciate it.  For that matter, I'm not a huge fan of the composer either.  



But I like to think I can be seduced by skill and genius when I see it and hear it, and she is my Genius of the Week.
