What Are You Listening To? #24

Seing some of us have just celebrated the Stonewall riots here’s something a little camp for all the fairies around here.

 

In a Mood....

 

Not since Elizabeth Schwarzkopf chilled my blood as Mozart’s Queen of The Night have I encountered anything as brilliant. Bittova has that genius Schwarzkopf had of being able to mould the tone of her voice to match the mood of a song. I’m now hunting down the CD’s of this performance. Thanks Eudora although I’m sure 99% of posters find this kind of thing as much fun as running their fingernails down a blackboard (Do they still have blackboards these days?)

 

Truly ! - It is - "one HELL of a preformance" - is it NOT ?
Though I do not think that it is available on CD. If you find it
.................................................................................. please inform.

Ms. Bittova plays & sings many of her own compositions and accompanies herself
........ with the Violin. It is a rich eclectic sound steeped in jazzed up Folk Traditions
..................................Admitedly - NOT everybodies cup ot Tea - Errr Shot of Scotch

Iva Bittova - A Strange Young Lady


Iva Bittová & Vladimir Václavek - Sirka v louzi


Iva BITTOVA sings *Ne nehledej*

 

It's a design created by a libertarian group I've worked with over the years - Students for Liberty:

https://www.studentsforliberty.org/

It works with young, college-aged libertarians here in the U.S.

The message is that we need to be teaching more Mises and libertarian theory and less Marx in our nation's universities/colleges. Being a university grad myself, I would like to see young adults exposed to as broad a spectrum of socio-economic thought as possible. For example, even though I'm the furthest thing from a communist, I still found it useful to be exposed to the pseudo-intellectual dreck Marx produced. Personally, I'm more interested in the lives, movements and theories of the proto-socialists such as Gerrard Winstanley and the Diggers/True Levellers and François-Noël Babeuf and la société des égaux, but that's somewhat more specialized material.
