Caliph of Baghdad (Overture) - Boieldieu
Музыка
The 'opera comique' "The Caliph of Baghdad" was premiered in Paris in 1800, and was celebrated throughout Europe, possibly because of its exotic subject matter. The current performance was part of a concert to celebrate the popularity of such works with orchestras and groups of diverse instruments, often based on guitars and mandolins, which were popular in Queensland in the last two decades of the 19th century and into the early 20th century.
Duncan has determined, as part of his Master of Music Research studies that an early performance of this this piece was by a Swiss touring group of some 14 members. the 'Jungfrau Kapelle', at Rockhampton (Queensland) in August 1888.
It would not be unreasonable to assume that the overture would not have been performed very often in the past century, which gives this performance some historical relevance.
It is a charming piece and is well-suited to this arrangement by Duncan Gardiner for the quartet.

Hi to all.... As I have posted elsewhere, Joel and I have been busy earning our livings after years of study, and have had to limit our playing together somewhat. We really enjoy it when we get to perform, and we expect that other opportunities will occur such as Duncan Gardiner's recent journey back to the early days of Queensland musical activities. Creating interesting videos has always been a challenge and we don't believe that everything we play is suitable for KZread. I have been considering posting some earlier performances which at the time were considered to be less interesting for the audience, but in retrospect they may see the light of day yet. Many thanks for all the positive comments ... they are really appreciated. Marissa.

While I am not a mandolin player I have enjoyed these performances especially of Joel and yourself. I am an aged classical guitar tragic (didn't start to learn until I was 66) and wish I had at least a tiny smidgen of your talents. Please upload the performances to which you allude . I am sure they will be more than well received

Thank you for music that makes you feel light and happy!
Quelle joie d entendre cette interpretation de l ouverture de boildieu
Marissa, Your divertimento for 2 mandolins and guitar from Perth a dozen or so years ago is among my favorite pieces of music. I'm surprised it's not included in this KZread site. Please add that and/or something new. 4 yrs! I hope we haven't lost you. Bruce Forrest, Boca Raton, FL, US.
Wonderful! So glad to see you back on KZread, Marissa. I hope this is the first of many new videos! I love your playing and the passion with which you approach the music.
So beautiful are the music and performance. Thank you-John
a great pleasure to see and listen you again
We want you back !!!! My all time favourite, this is beautiful. Thank you. You bring Joy & Happiness. Joey from Sydney
Absolutely beautiful !. A joy. Such delightful sounds !. Splendid ! x . Just an afterthought, it would be so nice if the video, had included just a little more time to take in the applause for the artists. So often the end of terrific performances are truncated x x.
Muy agradecido de esta música maravillosa. El diálogo instrumental, el gusto y pasión que transmiten por la música es realmente bello, ¡muy bello!
What a nice ... It's a very harmonious quartet, sounds and timbre …
Welcome back. I had given up hope on new vids. Beautiful music.
Linda música e belíssima interpretação do grupo. Saudações do Brasil!
Cara Marissa, dopo tanto ti rivedo assieme a Joel anche se non come speravo. nella formazione classica del vostro DUO.Ma sono contento.Spero che vi possa rivedere e riascoltarvi ancora presto Un abbraccio a te ed a Joel. :)))
Wonderful piece Marissa, Love to hear you play Paisiello's cavatina from his Barber of Seville on the mandolin.
终于更新了，太好听了！
Felicidades. Muy bien interpretado!!!
Excellent!
A COMEBACK with JOEL !!!!
Wonderful to have this performance. Joel looks comfortable with the mandolin. I would wish for more of these, be they less interesting or not.
Hermoso! Saludos desde Chile ❤

Beautifully performing quartet. The piece, however, doesn't allow the brilliance of the once fantastic duet Marissa /Joel to emerge...
Wonderful, sound is great not sure about the lighting - makes you look very pale and seems to be directly on you. Shame there are no close ups.

Hi Peter..... you may be interested in this link kzread.info/dash/bejne/c3eszMGJXbDKqrQ.html It's from Duncan's channel and uses 3 cameras. All the videos I have posted over the years were shot and edited by my Dad and only one camera was used with some post-production to keep them visually interesting where possible. Lighting in churches is always a challenge and usually isn't very flattering. Many thanks for watching and your comments. Regards... Marissa.

Thank You, Peter. No problem with your thoughtful comments. My Dad is also a Classical guitarist and we used to perform together. He was more than happy to hand over the musical side to Joel and concentrate on the videos. Incidentally, the link I included above seems to be broken and is replaced by this one (from Duncan Gardner's channel.) kzread.info/dash/bejne/n5xrl7efhrG_Z7w.html

Amazing Marissa! Keep up the great music. I came across your talent after seeing Avi Avital in Sydney last year performing. Beautiful song below: kzread.info/dash/bejne/a4N-ksSsqazYqcY.html You both are inspirational people. Hope you come to Sydney to perform one day.

No way dude! You may suggest that Marrissa's playing has taken a back burner to the realities that be, but that can always change later.... Go pick on some silver spoon spoiled brat who never was made to walk the line! Nothing worse in this world than that. Nice piece, a little mellow, but hey! Marrissa and Joel will bust out more I'm sure. Congratulations on your hard work! It will reflect in "your" music!
