February music

On the main page today, 300 years after its first performance, Bach's cantata BWV 125, - a lovely very intimate piece, with peace and joy in the title. Enjoy listening with score - I discovered that only now! - Today is also the birthday of James Joyce, who has an article by many authors. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:52, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the Bach link (synching with score is cool; even tho it isn't useful to me I still like it), and for the James Joyce link. Reminds me of my trip to Dublin last year. One of my new favorite places; I could imagine living there. And I remembered to {{dnau}} this time... --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:52, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

new pics, with thanks for remembering ;) - back home --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:17, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Every time you go to La Palma, I (1) enjoy the pictures, and (2) get sort of jealous. Floquenbeam (talk) 17:49, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Every time I go to La Palma (which has become a nice tradition of a winter home), I hope that enjoyment is stronger than jealousy. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:06, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is, but it's close... Floquenbeam (talk) 17:45, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

today: a German-born Spanish art collector, -the video in her honour is remarkable, as what she gave the world. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:33, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I find today's birthday child particularly inspiring, by enthusiasm and determination. That was - believe it or not - a pictured DYK in 2021, without the last line though. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:59, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Paul Plishka, a bass who sang 88 roles of all kinds at the Met was interviewed before his (first) retirement. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:48, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, thanks Gerda. Floquenbeam (talk) 17:46, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! That article had not a single link to an opera, few references, and little biographical detail. (Thanks to two brilliant obits, that could be changed. Today I learned that Edith Mathis died. That article had few links to pieces, few references, and little biographical detail. Thank to Grimes2, that changed much today, and I worked on the formatting of the recordings (a bit). She made 193. It's her birthday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:02, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

She arrived on the main page today! Check out how the article improved ;) - She portrayed young women by Mozart. The video of a 1993 interview has videos of her performances. - I saw my brother on stage, - see places. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:45, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That *is* quite an expansion! Well done to you and Grimes and others. Floquenbeam (talk) 17:17, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Look at places also for Valentine's food and flowers ;) - with a story, and more music there --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:01, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Valentines Day, Gerda. I waited until too late, so while Mrs. Floquenbeam and I are going to a nice Cuban place for dinner, I could only get reservations for 5:00. That's practically lunch time! Floquenbeam (talk) 17:19, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to steal your thunder, Floq, but it was pretty obvious and I wasn't sure if you'd be back on-wiki anytime soon (looked like you'd left for the day).--Bbb23 (talk) 16:38, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, you're always welcome to steal my thunder. Less work for me! Floquenbeam (talk) 17:44, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know, Yankees10. Looks like Bbb23 has sorted things Floquenbeam (talk) 17:43, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
