Pieter Claesz, Vanitas, 1630

From Rino Stefano Tagliafierro’s short video, B E A U T Y

My friends, I'm going to be terribly busy in the coming months, and I won't have the time to maintain this blog anymore. I remember starting it almost in passing, and then it became such an important part of my life. But now that the show is more likely over, I feel like it's the right time to stop. I want to thank you all for your interest and kind words, and also thank whoever reading this who was involved in the creation of this beautiful show. It was a great adventure and I'm glad to have contributed in my little way. And of course, if Hannibal resurrects in one form or another, I'll do my best to be at the rendez-vous. Arriverderci !

To Hannibal, the Series:  

A tribute to the long hours spent on set, to the creative energy that guided three seasons of groundbreaking television, to memories made and a bloody good time had by all, and most importantly, a tribute to everyone who made the past three seasons of Hannibal a reality.  

Bon Appétit!

Hi, just wondering if you know which song was playing when Reba escaped in Hannibal 313? Thank you.

“The Girl with the Flaxen Hair” by Debussy.

It was played in 3.11 so I didn’t reblog it, but it’s in the list

Bach, Goldberg Variations, aria.

in Hannibal 3.13 “The Wrath of the Lamb”

[The interpretation used in this episode was very loose, and I don’t know who plays, so I chose another loose interpretation by John Lewis]

Pierre Hugard, Suite n°3 La Toilette - II. Gavotte I “La Homet”

Simone Eckert, pardessus de viole

[Boucher | Les Forges de Vulcain]

DON GIOVANNI Là ci darem la mano, Là mi dirai di sì. Vedi, non è lontano; Partiam, ben mio, da qui. ZERLINA (Vorrei e non vorrei, Mi trema un poco il cor. Felice, è ver, sarei, Ma può burlarmi ancor.) DON GIOVANNI Vieni, mio bel diletto! ZERLINA (Mi fa pietà Masetto.) DON GIOVANNI Io cangierò tua sorte. ZERLINA Presto… non son più forte. DON GIOVANNI Andiam! ZERLINA Andiam! A DUE Andiam, andiam, mio bene. a ristorar le pene D'un innocente amor.

The Études-Tableaux (“study pictures”), Op. 33 is the first of two sets of piano études composed at the Ivanovka estate between August and September 1911.

Rachmaninov biographer Max Harrison calls the Études-Tableaux “studies in [musical] composition”; while they explore a variety of themes, they “investigate the transformation of rather specific climates of feeling via piano textures and sonorities. They are thus less predictable than the preludes and compositionally mark an advance” in technique.

These sets were intended to be “picture pieces”, essentially “musical evocations of external visual stimuli”. Rachmaninov did not disclose what inspired each piece, stating: “I don’t believe in the artist that discloses too much of his images. Let them paint for themselves what it most suggests.
