On the Banks of the Danube

Dear friends,

As in other times that I also have expressed myself to you, the inspiration for this work came from the real passion I have for an orchestra conductor - Seiji Ozawa.

There is a DVD of him with the Berliner Philharmoniker Orchestra playing Gershwin which is - at least for me - to vibrate, to scream, to cry with emotion and literally fall to my knees in devotion. If you want to know at least one of its recording tracks, I leave here as a present to you the Rhapsody in Blue with the Berliner more the jazz trio of Mark Roberts. If you do not cry spontaneously at the time when, after Ozawa's "drooling" over the interpretation of the soloist, he calls the orchestra by whistling with two fingers in his mouth, you are heartless... lol.

George Gershwin - Rhapsody In Blue

from the DvD "A Gershwin Night - Seiji Ozawa" –2005 – with "M.Roberts Trio"

Well, this time I will not bring Gershwin but another great interpretation of the orchestra under the always magnificent conducting of Seiji Ozawa in Blue Danube, Strauss, of course.

Always with my affection,

Delza

To my dear friends,

           Budapest has corners, nooks and charms to be explored through the Net even when I'm already in the asylum! Nothing passionate me more! I'm not flighty, but I demote in the podium "my" beloved Prague, Florence and the Forbidden City to crown Budapest as champion!

            It was really a great challenge to dive into the immeasurable wealth of available material; so, by sheer exhaustion, I declared ended the research after the 1.67 GB composed of 1,336 image archives that I brought into my PC. Even so, the compilation was very enjoyable; difficult, very difficult, was to elect - without the aid of a jury... lol - the 150 finalists, because to each classified photo, I found myself obliged to commit the crime of neglect 8 or more.
            
            Finally, exultant for the wonder that I got to know photographically and by reading, I achieved to format and bring you the first volume of three that will be needed for a minimum composition of the divine Budapest image. 

            With much joy and my love,

            Delza
