Thanks, Julie. That is pretty amazing. Let us know when they get to Planet X.

This is the epitome of a great performance! A rare spectacle of human achievement with its power and fragility juxtaposed. When the camera zooms in for a time toward the end it reveals something majestical. Thanks for sharing.
I came here to post what I had come across and thought it a great performance. In a way, it's got the same virtuosity that the SpaceX launch has : )

Oh my, her high notes are extraterrestrial! Thank you, Jim! (I’m ok with translated librettos, but why bother when subtitles are still needed to understand it?)

And here's a great performance, just Joni and her dulcimer.

I love the Joni Mitchell, Roger, and just caught up on her 2024 Grammy performance—so touching. She wrote “Both Sides Now” for that moment. How did she write lyrics like that in her early twenties? I’ve heard them a hundred times, but felt their depth only today.

Here’s another song that really has me hooked. The Hindustani singing style beats even bel canto in circling around notes and hitting “microtones” between the notes we’re used to.
The first rendition I love for its simple spontaneity, although Adarsh Gourav and Lisa Mishra are quite professional singers.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NenfLCXgfac
Here’s a clip from the 1967 Pakistani film “Doraha,” which made the song famous. It’s dubbed by legendary Pakistani ghazal singer Mehdi Hassan.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B21O_RSjUn4
If you’re as hooked as I am, here’s Pakistani singer Ali Zafar doing an impressive tribute to Mehdi Hassan.

The music is by Sohail Rana and the lyrics by Masroor Anwar. This is the best Google Translate can do:
I have lost sight of you
You will never forget me
I have lost sight of you
You will never forget me
I don't know why it happened to me
You will not be able to erase my love
You look at me...
I will miss you wherever you go
Sometimes become a song, sometimes become tears
Sometimes become a song, sometimes become tears
You will find me yearning everywhere
The candle that has been lit by my faithfulness
Even if you want to extinguish it, you will not be able to extinguish it
You look at me...
Sometimes my name came up in the conversation
So you will hold your heart if you are anxious
So you will hold your heart if you are anxious
The darkness of grief will cover the eyes
Someone asked the reason for the tears
Even if you want to tell, you will not be able to tell
I have lost sight of you
You will never forget me
You look at me...

What beautiful, absorbing music! What a song! I’m listening to it as I watch the Wimbledon finals with the sound turned down.
Music. How can any other art form compete/compare with music? Nothing can flood the emotions like it can — Though poetry is in essence music, and has the capacity to move us like music does, but not as effortlessly, I think. (This is, of course, my emotions talking. They change rapidly— Ha!)
There has always been something about Indian music’s fluttering tones and undulating, murmurating melodies that is alluring to my ear.
Thanks for sharing this music/these videos. I think I like the simple version best. I love the way the male singer’s face is echoing the emotion of the song.

Handel’s “Ombra mai fu” and “Lascia la spina,” Cecilia Bartoli’s voice, Palladio’s Teatro Olimpico. Pinnacles of Western culture.
