    it gives me a weird sensation to watch this. this afternoon i’ve seen a
    little exhibition of rodin’s works in milan and the “slavic woman”
    appearing on the right from minute 1:31 was among them.

    *’The footage was taken in 1915, two years before Rodin’s death. There are
    several sequences. The first shows the artist at the columned entrance to
    an unidentified structure, followed by a brief shot of him posing in a
    garden somewhere. The rest of the film, beginning at the 53-second mark,
    was clearly shot at the palatial, but dilapidated, Hôtel Biron, which Rodin
    was using as a studio and second home.’*

    Gorgeous piano performance of the Chopin 2nd Piano Concert. It is always
    good to know who the artists are. Who is the pianist, the conductor and
    the orchestra ? Thanks

    hi Andrew yes, at 1.27 he looks at the viewer and his nervousness makes him
    so human – not now the great modern sculptor very pleased you’re liking
    these films – they are about on YT but i couldn’t resist putting them all
    together as i have the doco they originally came from. lots of other
    footage of singers, politicians, composers and so on too. cheers!

    Wonderful to see this. I loved the very short clip at 1:27. You are doing
    us all a great service by tracking down all these clips and making them
    available. Great work.

    hi pediatrapaola curiously i’m invigorated by the prospect of tidying up
    the videos and improving them and then uploading them again thanks for your
    support – it’s really been a help and had been much appreciated by the way,
    if you can think of a curse to put on a certain person, let me know
    immediately – LOL!
