  Another classic by JS Bach - Prelude and fugue in B minor BWV 544 - Organist is Te Lindert of the Netherlands Bach Society....
  Very well played and demonstrates all that is good in a well co-ordinated rendition..A hard piece to play and this lady is superb...impressive..😅
  
  NB:
  Note, starting half-way through this video, is the fugue part of the piece and that part is truly brilliant..my favorite.

  Dear ACC.....Many members speak English as a second language and try so hard to meet the linguistics standards of the language...The site is stipulated as English speaking and I recognize the language as international in scope and use. Very much as Latin was in ancient times. A unifier..In Roman times, the Gaul could speak to the Syrian, in Latin and commerce and learning was made easier..English does this in the modern world...Bringing all together..
  
  Some on ACC may seek to improve their English, especially their British English...
  I'll attach an amusing video, which covers the topic of improving your standards of "posh" English and as some might say; the Queen's English....It's a bit long, so watch if you sincerely seek to glean a few awfully good and spiffing tips...😇
  Cheerio, Drekx

  Indeed so, my friend....
  And I'll post another concerto. This time it's no. 4 in G major, which I feel has such a glorious harmony, between the wind instruments and the stringed instruments, with the ever present harpsichord, backing the melody.....Violin makes such an excellent performance...True magic. Demonstrating the genius of Bach and the skill of these assorted musicians...They must practice with such dedication...Sheer loveliness...;-)

  “Be a lamp to yourself”, - Gautama said. “Toss wisdom and holiness onto the garbage”, - Lao-tzu said ‘and everyone will be better off’, The old fellows were right. But we should be careful: once we use even the most enlightened sage as an authority, we undermine what he is saying. “Any buddha becomes a demon if we hand him our power” – Emerson

  All governments must fall. There can never be a "ruling" government again. The only divine right is not to rule, it is freewill and divine individual sovereignty

  UK Naval intelligence has gleaned much data about "Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy" submarine technology, during the recent carrier strike group trip, into the south China sea and Pacific ocean.
  
  Testing the superiority of our military technology, over China's, this expedition revealed interesting weaknesses in enemy boats...Two 7,000-tonne Chinese Shang class submarines, nuclear powered and armed with cruise missiles, were EASILY DETECTED by sonar specialists, in operations rooms aboard HMS Richmond and HMS Kent, both vessels flanking RN aircraft carrier flag-ship, HMS Queen Elizabeth II..
  This incident occurred as the carrier group left the South China sea and sailed into the Pacific ocean...
  
  Simultaneously, the Chinese navy was unable to detect our Astute class nuclear submarine (name classified) in the area, protecting the carrier group, while SILENT RUNNING.
  
  The military conclusion is that in spite of sheer numbers of vessels, the quality of the Chinese navy is very poor. Indeed, we venture to suggest, less than the quality of the Soviet Union's navy, back in the 1970s..
  
  In submarine warfare, it is critical that your presence is undetected and the noise-profile factor is essential for keeping stealthy and therefore a hunter, rather than the prey..
  
  Noise profile of Chinese type 093 Shang class submarines, is actually louder, than Russian Victor III class submarines, deployed by the Soviets in the late 1960s..
  
  Moreover, apart from Richmond and Kent easily detecting a shadowing Chinese sub, our allies in the Japanese navy also detected a Chinese sub, as it bumbled off the coast of south Japan's Amami Oshima island..
  
  Conclusion, China has quantity, but lacks critical naval quality...
  
  Moreover, our intel has confirmed that one in five Chinese submariners are suffering significant psychological stress, while in service with the navy. Especially when assigned duties in the south China sea...
  A crew with one in five depressives, is a dead crew, in operational effectiveness terms...
  
  Some military food for thought, when one opens the can of worms that is China's "prowess." They are good at propaganda under the "wolf diplomacy" bluster, but in truth; a PAPER DRAGON.....
