André Brasilier (b.1929 – ), L’hiver bleu à Loupeigne, oil on canvas, signed André Brasilier (lower right); titled L’hiver bleu à Loupeigne, signed André Brasilier and dated 2015 on the reverse, executed in 2015, 130 by 163 cm; 51 ⅛ by 64 ⅛ in., Image Source: Sotheby’s
Dvorak Piano Quintet No. 2 in A major, Op. 81, B. 155, Tobias Feldmann, So Jin Kim, violins; Muriel Razavi, viola; Uladzimir Sinkevich, cello; Jinsang Lee, piano; 2019 Yeosu International Music Festival & Ensemble
The opening of the Dvořak sounds like the hymn “Shall We Gather at the River?” I wonder if that’s a coincidence or whether one composer was influenced by the other.
The cellist is terrific, and the rest of them match up to him – tender and passionate in turn violins, viola, and piano. I love chamber music and always enjoy the clips you post. The painting is exquisite.
Great post. I had never heard of Brasilier and love his work. I love the Fauves and his work seems to me to have a little naivete to it also. I’m thinking of the horse racing paintings. Thank you for posting and exposing us to such great art. 🤩Thank you also for your caring comment on my post which I will address tomorrow, God willing. It meant a lot to me.🙏🏽❣️
I am happy you enjoy this, Ellen. Learning more about the intriguing style of the Fauvist painters is one of my goals for the coming year. Wishing you a day filled with warmth, comfort, and love. 💞💞💞

Thank you. I listened to the entire piece this morning while getting my orders ready. I had not heard it before. It was wonderful, as is the painting.
