THE ULTIMATE RUSSIAN ROMANCE...

Listening to this has made me want to rush out and see the film again (which gives a very interesting version of the eternal triangle).

Or to write another Russian hero......

So for Michela and all fans of this haunting melody, I give you:

SOMEWHERE MY LOVE.

Does the music "do" it for you - and is the film among your top five?

A SUBLIME PIECE OF MUSIC

awaits you over on ihearts, where I'm blogging about my version of Jane Eyre - THE FORBIDDEN WIFE, which has just been published in north America.


So why don't you stop by and make a comment?

And tell me what you think of the music....

LOSE YOURSELF....

Yesterday, I went to see a film all about the life of Glenn Gould - an inspirational pianist whose playing of Bach made people listen in awe and wonder. Philistine that I am, I'd never even heard of him, but I'm now going to download his playing of the Goldberg Variations and lose myself in his amazing talent.

Canadian Glenn was a bit of a maverick. Taciturn and moody, he gave his last professional concert in 1964 at the age of 31 - because he hated performing.

He was also enigmatic and good-looking enough to make perfect hero fodder - as this famous image from Life magazine shows.

I've forgotten how to download the Youtube link (I must ask the nice man at the Apple shop) - but go and listen to his music if you don't already know it.

Or do you?
