LA CLÉMENCE DE TITUS de Mozart à l’Opéra Garnier : magnifique

La Clémence de Titus est peut-être l’opéra le moins connu de Mozart, mais c’est un spectacle à découvrir. Titus vient d’être couronné empereur, mais une femme très ambitieuse,  Vitellia est amoureuse de lui, alors que Titus  préfère Bérénice. Le grand ami de Titus, Sextus , est, quant à lui totalement épris de Vitellia qui le manipule,  et il va consentir malgré lui, à tuer Titus, son ami.…

Tales of intoxicated Hoffmann: Jones production with Spyres, Brower, Damrau, Pudova and Testé

Tales of intoxicated Hoffmann: Jones production with Spyres, Brower, Damrau, Pudova and Testé

My intent when booking the ticket for another “Tales of Hoffmann” was to see Aleksandra Kurzak interpreting all 4 roles, and to see how Ildar Abdrazakov will play 4 various villains. None of it materialised since both pulled out and were replaced: Kurzak by a combo of Olga Pudova and Diana Damrau, and Abdrazakov by Nicolas Testé. So, that offered great opportunity to evaluate two new names and…

2018 Book List

Sharing my 2018 Book List and all the great books I read this past year.  I’d love to hear what you read this year!I have been a bad girl this year.  In past years I have shared with you a list of all the books I have read each quarter of the year.  I didn’t do that this year and I know a lot of you missed it because I got emails from you telling me how much you missed them. All I can say is, I’m sorry.  I think there are a couple of reasons why I didn’t do those posts this year.  One, I didn’t read as much this year as I have in the past which I’m going to blame on too much British TV watching as well as listening to podcasts. And second, I  spent a lot of the year holding new grandbabies instead of books!

Well, I’m here to beg forgiveness and share with you a list of everything I read in 2018,  all in one post.  I only read 19 books in 2018 which is less than half of what I normally read.  One of the best parts of sharing what I have read with you, is you sharing with me what you have read.  I get so many of my book suggestions from you!

Please leave me a comment and let me know what some of your favorite books were in 2018. So here you go!

2018 Book List

The Clifton Chronicles by Jeffrey Archer – I spent the first part of the year reading the Clifton Chronicles series and really enjoyed it.  My husband read them before me and loved them too.  It is a family saga that takes place in England beginning with the outbreak of the Great War.  Each book leaves you anxious to start the next to see what has happened!  There are seven books in the series and you will be sorry when you’ve read the last one!

Glass Houses by Louise Penny – The most recent book in the Inspector Gamache series.  I have read all the others and was so excited for this one to come out!  You will end up with a crush on Inspector Gamache like me!

Radium Girls by Kate Moore.  This was a fascinating true story about a group of woman who worked in the clock factories painting clock faces with radium laced paint.  It is a tragic story of what happened to them as a result of their exposure to radium on a daily basis.  It is history that I wasn’t aware of and although it is a tragic story it was definitely an interesting read.

This next book marks a little run on non-fiction reading for me.

Make Your Bed by William McRaven.  This is a quick little read that I gave to all the high graduates I knew this year.  It’s got a lot of great life lessons and can be read in an hour or so!

Grit, The Power of Passion by Angela Duckworth – I totally agree with this book that one of the main secrets to success and achievement is not talent, but a blend of passion and persistence, what she calls “grit”.  I think all parents of young children should definitely read this book, so much good info.  Everyone needs grit!

Big Potential: How Transforming the Pursuit of Success Raises Our Achievement, Happiness, and Well-Being by Shawn Achor.  I listened to this one on Audible.  More a business book I think everyone can benefit from it.  I love the philosophy that success and happiness are not competitive sports and that by helping others be better we also improve.

Daring Greatly by Brene Brown.  This was a reread for me and a must read for everyone if you haven’t read it.

Essentialism by Greg McKowan.  This was also a reread for me because I needed a refresh on the topic.  Feeling overwhelmed, overcommitted, or overworked?  This book is for you.

The Alice Network by Kate Quinn.  This book got me back to my normal historical fiction genre and I really enjoyed it.  The story is set in two different eras, during the Great War and then another story line that takes place during post WWII.  The two stories alternate chapters so you have to pay attention.  It is the story of the British spy network – the “Alice Network” -operating in German-occupied northwestern France during the Great War.  Really enjoyed this one!

 I was Anastasia by Ariel Lawhon.   Another historical fiction read about a part of history I wasn’t that familiar with, the story of the mysterious lives of  Russian princess Anastasia Romanov and Anna Anderson.  Anna Anderson spent 50 years trying to convince the world she was Anastasia Romanov.

Under the Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan.  My son gifted my husband this book after he read it and enjoyed it.  My husband loved it and suggested I read it. I’ve read a lot about WWII but most of what I have read has taken place in France or England.  This book is the story of WWII in Italy, the true story of Pino Lella who becomes a spy against the Germans while working for one of the German high command.  If you are a fan of  All the Light We Cannot See, The Nightingale, and Unbroken you will enjoy this book.

The Little Book Hyggee by Meik Wiking  Hyggee (hoo-ga) is all the rage, the Danish art of “Comfy.”  After reading the book to see what it was all about I realized I’ve been Living Hyggee for years!  Hyggee is a sense of comfort, togetherness, and well-being. “Hygge is about an atmosphere and an experience,” Wiking explains. “It is about being with the people we love. A feeling of home. A feeling that we are safe.”

The Residence:Inside the Private World of the White House  by Kate Anderson Brower.  This was a book club read.   It is an intimate account of the service staff of the White House, from the Kennedys to the Obamas.  Lots of interesting stories!

That’s it.  My 2018 Book List.  Now I’d like to hear what you’ve been reading.  Please leave me a comment and let me know.

Happy Reading!

How to Approach Yoga During Pregnancy

' Yoga is regarding developing harmony within oneself as well as to create that harmony while expectant indicated my techniques needed to honor in addition to such as the process my body was going with to make a newborn kid.' -Sharmila Desai

Many serious yogis have methods that include headstands, arm equilibriums, and leaving the floor covering happily drenched in sweat. For some, visualizing a time when the body could not sustain this level of task, such as throughout pregnancy, is daunting. When expecting, a woman experiences a collection of physical changes that call for a different strategy to exercise. Knowing exactly how to correctly approach yoga exercise during this moment is necessary for the wellness of both mommy and also kid, but proceeded technique could also supply deep physical and also emotional benefits during a woman's trip to motherhood.

Physically, yoga is known to ease the discomforts of pregnancy, such as lack of breath, state of mind swings, fatigue, as well as swelling, according to Linda Sparrowe, author of The Lady's Book of Yoga and Health. Pranayama, the technique of yogic breathing, supplies a means with which to manage the pain of contractions, and reflection can aid enhance the capability to loosen up right into the present.

Yoga also aids assistance mental and emotional balance throughout this time of shift. My prenatal pupils inform me of their almost primal connection to the earth as they sink right into a deep squat and infuse their growing stomach, preparing to bring a new life into this world. Team yoga exercise classes provide soon-to-be mothers a chance to lean into a sense of neighborhood as well as plant a spiritual technique that permits time to create a link with their infants. Holding stances such as Warrior Posture could aid women gain self-confidence as well as develop endurance to prepare for being a mother, claims Angela Gallagher, a prenatal teacher as well as giving birth teacher in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

How a female opts to practice throughout her maternity is deeply individual. Sharmila Desai, an advanced Ashtanga yoga exercise instructor and mom of two, followed her instructor's guidance to not participate in any kind of asana practice throughout her initial trimester. Instead, Desai channeled her power during her maternities by strolling, swimming, and also practicing seated yoga postures. ( Find out more concerning Desai's day-to-day health regimen and her guidance for expectant mothers right here.) Others might determine to proceed a more physical experiment adjustments throughout the whole maternity. 'Further intimacy with the body enables expecting women to rely less on reasonable thinking as well as even more on user-friendly wisdom,' clarifies Gallagher.

Shari Barkin, M.D., a pediatrician at Wake Woodland University/Brenner Children's Medical facility in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, who exercised yoga exercise throughout her two maternities, sustains basic standards that novices ought to exercise just prenatal yoga while expectant, while somebody with a solid yoga exercise method before pregnancy may have the ability to continue a relatively solid experiment alterations after the initial trimester. Barkin warns versus starting any type of brand-new sort of strenuous activities throughout pregnancy.

The first trimester is a necessary time for the child's development, as the unborn child is implanting right into the uterine wall and the threat of losing the unborn baby is highest. At this time, specialists such as Barkin suggest doing a mild physical practice or none at all.

' In the conventional Ashtanga yoga exercise method, practicing asanas in the first trimester is not advised, as well as women are encouraged to avoid taking unneeded risks during this important time,' creates Desai in guide she co-authored with Anna Wise, Yoga Sadhana for Mothers. For those that do make the selection to integrate physical positions early on in pregnancy, Barkin suggests only mild movements like cat and cow, hip openers, and also onward folds up throughout beginning of pregnancy.

Pregnancy creates a hormonal agent called relaxin, which generates higher flexibility as well as mobility to make room for the infant but can also bring about instability as well as reduced pain in the back, so women have to beware not to overstretch throughout this time. 'Pregnancy is not a time to make every effort for more adaptability, although it could take place,' states Stephanie Keach, Director of the Asheville Yoga Facility as well as mom of 2 boys.

' Do not do inversions, spins, or enters your first trimester,' Barkin states. 'Go back, do not leap back in Sunlight Salutations. It is essential not to jar or threaten implantation of the fetus as well as placenta.' Barkin likewise recommends exercising Camel Posture or Bridge Pose, which pulls much less on the abdominal muscle, instead of Full Wheel. It is essential to pay attention to the body 'specifically sensitively during this very vital time for your child,' claims Elena Brower, a yoga exercise educator and mother based in New york city City. 'No benting, absolutely nothing as well strenuous. Maintain with gentleness what you have actually constantly done.'

Breathing strategies such as Ujayi Pranayama, likewise referred to as triumphant breath, in which one takes a breath in as well as out the nose, and Nadi Shodana, or alternate-nostril breathing (when breath is flowed with one side of the nose, exhaled out the other side, and afterwards alternated, as demonstrated in the video clip below) are particularly helpful practices while pregnant, states Keach. Both these techniques aid balance the body's energy flows and also preserve tranquil by creating an also circulation of breath in and also out the nose. Keach encourages versus 'any sort of breath retention or hyperventilation that can restrict the child's oxygen supply,' such as in breath of fire and also kapalabhati.

As a female's tummy becomes much more recognizable, she might really feel light-headed and have to eat a lot more regularly to preserve stable blood glucose levels, states Colette Crawford, R.N., a registered nurse as well as prenatal yoga instructor based in Seattle. By the second trimester, nausea usually subsides, and experienced yogis with a solid practice could pick to invert once more throughout this time around. 'This is when I felt toughest,' claims Brower. 'I liked my technique during this really gorgeous and also durable time of maternity.'

Women need to know that greater levels of endorphins, the body's 'feel-good' hormone, are generated as pregnancy advances, making it harder to feel injury, writes Desai in Yoga Sadhana for Mothers. She likewise suggests that ladies ought to not exercise shut spins or postures that placed weight on the abdomen such as Grasshopper Pose.

By the 3rd trimester, equilibrium and also breathing end up being hard as the body holds even more weight. In the publication Relax and Renew, Judith Lasater, Ph.D., P.T., recommends women after the very first 3 months of pregnancy to exercise Savasana by lying on the left side with extra padding in between the knees instead of on the back. Likewise, to avoid pressing the stomach,  pregnant women often customize standing postures such as Chair Pose by taking their feet into a larger position. 'This could be a good time to invest added breaths in poses that are noted for assisting throughout labor, such as baddha-konasana [Bound Angle Present] and upavistha konasana [Wide-Leg Seated Forward Bend], " Desai creates, as well as sequences that 'urge the infant right into an optimal position for birth, for instance, taking place all-fours and also circling around the hips.'

Practicing yoga exercise while pregnant is especially individual as well as can be unspeakably abundant and also rewarding, it permits a sacred opportunity for a woman to deepen her partnership to the wisdom of her body, her baby, and also to herself.

ネゼ＝セガン指揮ヨーロッパ室内管の録音でモーツァルトのオペラ「フィガロの結婚」全曲をここ数日に分けて聴きました。2015年夏のバーデン＝バーデンでのライヴ録音です。 https://amzn.to/2yIoK7X ネゼ＝セガンの指揮は、スピードがあって颯爽と走るかと思えば、たっぷり聴かせるところもあって、その緩急の変化が巧みで魅せられました。また全体に丁寧なのも素晴らしい！ 特徴的なのは、通奏低音にフォルテピアノを用いているところ。序曲のときからフォルテピアノの通奏低音が乗ってきます。またレチタティーヴォでは、フォルテピアノに加えチェロが用いられています。このパターンは初めてかも。 キャストもみな素晴らしいですが、アンジェラ・ブラウアー(Angela Brower)のケルビーノは雰囲気たっぷり。彼女のWikiはまだ英語とドイツ語しかないようですが、R.シュトラウスの楽劇「ばらの騎士」のオクタヴィアンも演じているようで、それは聴いてみたい！ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela_Brower そのほかアンネ・ゾフィー・フォン・オッターのマルチェリーナも存在感があってよかったです。名盤の多い「フィガロの結婚」ですが、また新たな名盤に出会えました(^^) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1U38ToALnV/?igshid=77padj69p8zs
