| (8/12)Battlefield I The Battle for Italy Episode 6 (GDH)Thu, 08 Jan 2009 15:28:10 -0800 by 2bn442RCT--SUBSCRIBE TO EXCELLENT World War II VIDEOS---- --UPLOADED Weekly--- Videos Running Time 01:54:00 in 12 PartsBattlefield I: The Battle of Italy Excellent episode chronicling the invasion of Sicily and Italy. Opeartion Minemeat, The Allied deception plan prior to the Sicily invasion, worked perfectly. The Germans second guessed themselves and began shifting units away from Sicily. The German 1st Panzer Division was moved to Greece and the 16SS Panzer Grenadier Division redeployed to Corsica. Mincemeat was the placing of manufactured information on a dead Major Martin and floating him out to sea. Sicily was invaded by the American 7th and the British 8th Armies on July 9th 1943. The Italian 6th Army defended Sicily with 300,000 men. However, the real offensive/defensive capability was the German 14th Panzer Korps. The Herman Goring Panzer Division, the 1st Fallschirmjager Division and the 15 and 29th Panzer Grenadier Divisions, conducted an excellent phased withdraw, saving thousands of troops. Cooperation between the 7th and 8th Armies was abysmal. The advance in Sicily degenerated into a race. The opportunity to trap thousands of elite German units and valuable equipment was lost. Lt. Gen. Pattons behavior, comments and insubordination to Gen. Alexander, cost him his 7th Army command, and quite possibly command of the 12th Army Group in 1944 France.The Allied invasion of Salerno, Operation Avalanche, on September 9th 1943, came close to a disaster. Naval gunfire was able to blunt German counter-attacks. Luftwaffe attacks claimed several ships. The crisis was averted and both the 5th and 8th Armies advanced.With elite German formations, defensive terrain and the Brilliance of Field Marshall Albert Kesselring, the Allies advance grind to a halt before the Gustav Line. The Anzio operation accomplished nothing, but serve into German propaganda. The taking of Monte Cassino by British, Polish, French, Indian and New Zealand troops could have assisted in surrounding thousands of German units. However, Lt. Gen. Clark was more interested in capturing Rome before Italy turned into the forgotten front.Enjoy this excellent episode of Battlefield Related: world war ii worldwarii worldwar2 italy italian anzio salerno monte cassino gustav line battlefield fallschirmjager rome hitler patton panzer grenadier kesselring new zealand german sicily | |

| Apostel - Kubiniana (Nos. 8, 9, 10)Thu, 08 Jan 2009 14:52:33 -0800 by HexameronKubiniana Op. 13; Ten Piano Pieces after Drawings by Alfred KubinVIII. "Lento"IX. "Moderato"X. "Andante molto"Steffen Schleiermacher, pianoMention the Second Viennese School to most listeners and they will probably think of only three distinct names: Schoenberg, Berg, and Webern. Yet these three eminent figures taught a number of talented pupils, most of which are sadly forgotten. The names Adorno, Ullmann, Klein, Wolpe, Spinner, Eisler, and Jelinek are barely recognized even by musicologists writing on the Second Viennese School. Hans Erich Apostel (1901-1972) was another esteemed albeit lesser composer of the Second Viennese School. He studied with Schoenberg and Berg in the 1920's and left a fascinating corpus of works, which was unfortunately banned by the Nazis. If Apostel is remembered at all, it is for his important editions of Berg's operas.Apostel formed friendships with an assortment of painters and was a lifelong friend of the expressionist artist Alfred Kubin (1877-1959). In 1943 Kubin published a collection of 60 drawings which inspired Apostel to compose 60 piano miniatures. These miniatures were unpublished and if they still exist, are likely to remain so. However, Apostel supposedly borrowed material from some of these miniatures and composed a separate suite of piano pieces known as "Kubiniana" which was published as his Op. 13. These ten pieces are highly expressive, esoteric, and compelling specimens. Studying the scores is quite rewarding, but the music is equally powerful and, I think, accessible.This video is a little different from my usual fare. I am a huge fan of Kubin and felt inclined to spice up the video with various examples of his art. Apostel did not cite any specific works of Kubin which might be associated with each miniature. Thus my choice of art in this video was by my own whim. I merely wish to enhance Apostel's rather dark and mysterious miniatures with the kind of nightmarish and bizarre pictures that inspired him.

| Frederich Schorr - Is It Enough from Elijah (Mendelssohn)Thu, 08 Jan 2009 11:34:28 -0800 by merrihewAn alternate version of one of yesterday's postings. Fredrich Schorr singing Es Ist Genug (Is It Enough) from Mendelssohn's Elijah recorded for Electrola (HMV) in 1929. Schorr (1888-1953) was, of course, one of the greatest Wagnerian baritones (arguably THE greatest) from the history of recording. He was born in Hungary and enjoyed an international career appearing often in the US and at Bayreuth. Being a Jew, he saw the handwriting on the wall early and moved to Connecticut (USA) in 1931 where he remained until his death. He was THE Wagnerian baritone at the MET after Whitehall until his retirement in 1943. Almost all of the pre-1931 Electrola records I have of him are of Wagner, but this records shows that that wasn't all he could sing. Exceptionally beautiful with more of a plaintiff quality than with Whitehill. A record highly praised by critics then and now. Although different, both versions have great merits and I can't chose between them. Related: frederich schorr mendelssohn elijah electrola. | |
