Czech Christmas music

[vera_j]

I can´t help sharing the best ever Czech Christmas music: The Czech Christmas Mass by Jan Jakub Ryba. Look at the Josef Lada illustrations and see the Czech way of the Nativity Scene!:-)

That was ,lovely! Oswin and I just listened all the way through.
Is there any particular significance to the dog in the barrel, or was that just for fun?

I am so glad you liked it because I love this to pieces and I like it so much that I always cry of joy.
No, the illustrations don´t belong to this at all, this was created just for fun from Lada´s well-known drawings of long-disappeared Czech winter of his childhood. So no, it was really only for fun.

Otherwise I am after two more surgeries and still I am not clean of that thing...but I live and because I love to be alive, I enjoy every day. I keep improving my speech and as far as the doctors don´t decide to cut again, I might try and talk to you soon, if shortly.

Enjoy the rest of the old year and let´s hope the new one is better... Hugs and love and my best greeting to Oswin!!!:-)
