The interior of a rare cello by English luthier Lockey Hill, completed shortly before his execution for horse theft in 1795. In this photo we can see the tool marks of the original maker, as well as new wood and repairs carried out through the centuries. Shot with a Lumix S1R and a Laowa Probe lens, 432 images at various focal distances have been stacked together to give a cavernous feel, as if the cello has become its own recital hall. Photographed whilst under restoration at the String Instrument Company, New Zealand.

Have a great Friday Y'all..:)
Crafted around 1780 this is a fine example of Lockey Hill's prolific work, which was unfortunately cut short after he was hung for horse theft in 1796! His family would go on to found Hill & Sons, probably the finest instrument workshop ever to exist in England.
The cello is seen from the inside. It's currently in the process of restoration. It needs a lot of work but someone's going to have an absolutely exquisite instrument once this is all done and dusted!
This is part of a series I'm undertaking on the internals of fine instruments. I use a special technique called focus stacking which has the effect of making these small spaces seem vast. This is a simple optical illusion. Our brains are wired to expect close up macro shots to have a shallow depth of field. By combining dozens, sometimes hundreds, of shots I ensure that the photo is sharp from front to back. This tricks the mind into believing that the image is of something much larger than reality.
This is a stack of 18 photos taken with the Laowa 24mm Probe lens on a Lumix S1R.

Apologies folks been laid low with a mother and father of a cold which is still hanging around after two and a half weeks and wrecked a break in Hamburg, so not been on Flickr catching up with friends photos - but will be soon.
Thanks to Emma for this location which is a new station been built in Hafen City on the Elbe in Hamburg, the lights provide a light show at weekends set to classical music and is quite something. Recorded one performance on my iPhone to get the full atmosphere.

Beethoven't ninth and final symphony is one of the greatest pieces of Western music in all of history. The composition and concept behind it is beyond "Olympian", as it has often been described. Certainly it is one of the most powerful, hair-raising and rapture inducing musical pieces I have ever encountered. If you have the chance to see it performed live with a full symphony orchestra and large choir, I HIGHLY recommend it. Doing so years ago left me utterly speechless.
I chose to do this for the contest because the opening lines of the Choral, the final moment, "O Freunde, nicht diese Töne !"
( Oh friends, not these sounds ! ) came to mind when looking at Classical paintings of battles. Then when I saw the portrait of Beethoven himself the whole project crystallized. The title is a call to end all wars and to bring about the unity of the human race - beyond nations - "Alle menschen werden bruder". This is hardly a call without relevance today.
I used images from a free download site.

Music Link: "Ninth Symphony - Chorale" Opus 125 ( 1822-24 ) - Ludwig van Beethoven. Conducted in this video by Leonard Bernstein at a 1989 performance in Berlin to celebrate the removal of the Berlin Wall. Each conductor brings their own interpretation to the podium and thankfully Bernstein had the great sensitivity NOT to rush this symphony as so many others have done. The opening movement requires a stately grandeur to it that's best brought out by letting those gargantuan opening chord sequences in D Minor breathe and expand in consciousness to their fullest extant before careening ahead to the next ones. There are newer and sharper videos but Bernstein's nailed it for me for his impeccable and passionate interpretation.

Exactly 222 Years Ago Today, Beethoven Premiered His 1st Symphony - IMRAN™
(Enjoy the story & my words, image source unknown)
Yesterday I posted about ABBA's creating a song, Voulez-Vous, 43 years ago. Well, just a few countries over, exactly 222 years ago today, on April 2, 1800, the musical legend and genius Ludwig van Beethoven premiered his 1st Symphony in C Major, at the Vienna Burgtheater.
He was 29 then, and also performed on the piano at the premiere. While some of his other pieces of music are more dramatic and recognized by the masses, his first one was also notable for changing many of the practices of the time.

Gala Concert in New Castle Schleißheim. The Residence Soloists played Haydn, Mozart, Strauß, Mahler, Debussy, Bizet, Smetana. Beautiful it was...
One. of the best acoustics that I have ever heard in a concert hall. The architecture is outstanding in every way, as is the performance of the Lahti Symphony Orchestra who are based here.
Catania in Sicily is the birthplace of Vincenzo Bellini (1801-35), the renowned operatic composer whose most famous work is Norma. Verdi described his melodies as unequalled, and Liszt and Chopin were also among his admirers.
Bellini died from an intestinal inflammation at the shockingly young age of 33, and is buried in St Agatha’s cathedral, Catania. This statue, sculpted by Giulio Monteverde, is in the nearby Piazza Stesicoro.
One train leaving the end station at Hafencity Universitat on the U4 line Hamburg Germany. Used the metal cabinet in front of the SOS emergency point to rest my camera on, giving the reflected red glow on the stainless steel.
Thanks to Emma for this location which is a new station been built in Hafen City on the Elbe in Hamburg, the lights provide a light show at weekends set to classical music and is quite something.

Currently a member of the Kopelman Quartet, my good friend Mikhail Milman is one of the best cellos in the world.
Here’s another in my occasional series on books and book things – this time celebrating the joy of listening to classical music in the 1950s.
I first encountered the author, Martyn Goff, when I was a 14-year-old schoolboy. He owned The Ibis Bookshop in Banstead High Street, Surrey, which I visited from time to time.
To me, Goff was already a bit of a celebrity, thanks to this book – A Short Guide to Long Play which he displayed in the shop window in 1957. And inside, he had a record player on which he always played soothing classical music. The sub-title of the book is ‘How to listen to Music on and off the Record’, and the price is 7s 6d.
While in Banstead, Martyn Goff was to become much more of a celebrity when he published several novels, including The Plaster Fabric and The Youngest Director, dealing with homosexual relations, a matter barely spoken of in the 1950s when such activities were illegal and ‘permissiveness’ was 20 years away.
But back to the book in question here. It reads like a long lecture, but in the nicest sense, with lots of amusing asides. Martyn Goff discusses the differences between listening to long-playing records (remember them?) on a ‘Hi-Fi set-up, a ‘pre-war radiogram’ and an ‘E.A.R. portable, electric, 3-speed gramophone’. ‘When I bought mine’ he recalls, ‘the cost was 26 guineas. Purchase Tax increases have raised this figure to 28½ guineas and at the present rate of rising costs, it may be double that figure by the time these words are read.’ Sounds familiar…?
The book is a time-warp, but Goff also discusses in some detail the symphony, the overture, popular composers and many other subjects, all crammed into 125 pages. It’s knowledgeable stuff.
In due course Martyn Goff CBE became not only a well-known reviewer and broadcaster, but also chairman of the National Book League, Administrator of the Booker Prize (a position he held for 36 years) and chairman of Sotheran’s, Europe’s oldest antique and rare book dealer founded in 1761. The bookseller from Banstead became known as ‘the eminence grise of British publishing’ – and his rise and rise to the top of the literary tree all started in my home town.
