When the first Three Tenors concert took place, on July 7, 1990, in Rome's Terme di Caracalla, Luciano Pavarotti delivered a cry for lost love with Vincenzo de Crescenzo's "Rondine al nido". This is also a tourist suggestion for those of you who'll visit Rome. I wish you all a great day!

For your morning coffee, a short moment with Bobby McFerrin and Yo-Yo Ma playing Rimsky-Korsakov’s "Flight of the Bumblebee". If you want to take a deeper dive into this, their collaboration began with their 1992 album "Hush" (more than two years at the top of the Billboard Classical).

A few pictures from Juan-Les-Pins, where every year there's "Jazz à Juan", a famous festival that dates back to 1960. This year, it takes place from July 9 to July 19. If you have kids and don't want to pay the tickets, the venue is right at the park and you can listen to the music for free, with a bottle of wine, while the little ones are having a good time too.

"Siegfried’s horn call."
As a side note, or a "fun fact", the coincidence is that Klaus Florian Vogt was a horn player before becoming a tenor. Still, the horn that you hear is played by Giovanni Emanuele Urso, principal horn player.

Probably Brahms's most recognisable work, Hungarian Dance No.5, performed by the Hungarian Symphony Orchestra of Budapest while they were visiting the Musikverein of Vienna in 2012. In 1969, Brahms originally composed it for piano four-hands, and it's part of a set of 21 dances based on Hungarian folk themes.
