Northern Capitals + Russia Tour - Sweden Aug-Sept 2018
This video is the third country we have visited with Insight Vacations which the tour failed in so many ways delivering what they advertised for, that is travelling in style, false advertising. Our journey then continues through fertile farmlands, dotted with neat farmhouses and barns. Traveled along the shores of peaceful Lake Vättern to Stockholm, beautifully situated on an island studded bay.With a Local Expert, visit the imposing City Hall with its impressive Gyllene salen, the Golden Hall, covered with 18 million gilded mosaic tiles and the Blå hallen, the Blue Hall, is the venue for the Nobel Prize banquets. Cross the harbour to Gamla Stan, the medieval heart of the city to see the cathedral and the Royal Palace. We visited the Vasa Galleon and ABBA Museum. This also includes review Hilton Stockholm Slussen.
Пресвятая Богородица спаси нас. 50. Валаамский хор.
За свою более чем 1000-летнюю историю Валаамский монастырь пережил множество как духовных, так и материальных взлётов и падений.
Наиболее значимые из них, произошедшие в XX-XXI вв., это:
— полная эвакуация обители с Валаамского архипелага в глубь Финляндии во время советско-финской войны 1939-1940 гг.;
— наступившее за этим разорение и забвение монастыря на многие десятилетия;
— возвращение монастыря Русской Православной Церкви и начало его духовного возрождения и реставрации в декабре 1989 г.;
— окончательное восстановление и освящение Святейшим Патриархом Алексием II главной Валаамской святыни – Спасо-Преображенского собора в августе 2005 г. В связи с этим событием по благословению игумена Валаамской обители, епископа Троицкого Панкратия был организован профессиональный мужской хор монастыря.
В состав хора вошли профессиональные музыканты из Санкт-Петербурга, выпускники Хорового училища при Государственной академической капелле им. М. И. Глинки и Санкт-Петербургской Государственной консерватории им. Н. А. Римского-Корсакова, дипломированные дирижёры и вокалисты, ведущие певцы вокальных, хоровых коллективов и музыкальных театров Санкт-Петербурга. Среди них заслуженные артисты Республики Карелии Михаил Круглов (род. в 1972, бас-профундо) и Дмитрий Попов (род. в 1967, контр-тенор), лауреаты международных конкурсов Александр Бордак (род. в 1973, тенор) и Борис Петров (род. в 1984, баритон). Постоянные творческие партнёры хора — заслуженный артист России Владимир Миллер (род. 1964), солист Государственного Мариинского театра Санкт-Петербурга Владимир Целебровский, солист Государственного академического Большого театра России Станислав Мостовой, солист Государственного Санкт-Петербургского музыкального театра «Зазеркалье» Антон Росицкий. Средний возраст участников хора 35 лет.
Хор Валаамского монастыря – уникальный творческий коллектив, деятельность которого связана с непосредственными благословениями игумена Валаамского монастыря, епископа Троицкого Панкратия. Хор одновременно является богослужебно-певческим и концертным творческим коллективом. Он участвует в праздничных богослужениях на Валаамском подворье в С.-Петербурге. Храм подворья – единственное место в городе, где аутентичные древнерусские песнопения исполняются по старинному обычаю «антифонно» (попеременно) на два «лика» и одним общим хором вместе. Коллектив сопровождает Патриаршие богослужения на Валааме, торжественные приёмы на острове Президента и членов Правительства РФ, других высокопоставленных гостей монастыря. В период летнего паломнического сезона певцы хора помогают в пении хору братии Валаамского монастыря и дают благотворительные концерты, знакомя многочисленных гостей обители с традициями валаамского церковного пения.
Концертная деятельность хора началась в 2007 г. с выступления на торжественном собрании Торгово-промышленной палаты России, возглавляемой Е. М. Примаковым. В мае 2008 г. хор дал сольный концерт в базилике Святителя Николая города Бари в рамках Фестиваля российского искусства в Италии, организованного по личной инициативе В. В. Путина и С. Берлускони. Сольные выступления хора состоялись на самых престижных академических концертных площадках России – в Большом зале Филармонии С.-Петербурга, в Концертном зале им. П. И. Чайковского Филармонии, в Большом зале Консерватории, в Международном Доме Музыки Москвы. Гастроли хора прошли в Нижнем Новгороде, Красноярске, Саратове, Тамбове, Рязани, во всех крупных городах СЗФО (Архангельске, Петрозаводске, Мурманске, Вологде, Пскове, Вел. Новгороде, Сыктывкаре), в Минске, в Алматы. С 2013 г. хор ежегодно в начале января организует и исполняет Рождественский концерт в Исаакиевском соборе С.-Петербурга, первый из которых собрал около 6000 слушателей. Хор первым из российских исполнителей создал специальную программу, посвященную 100-летию начала Первой мировой войны — «ЗАБЫТАЯ ВОЙНА», и представил ее в январе 2014 г. на сцене БКЗ «Октябрьский»в Санкт-Петербурге. В январе 2015 г. по приглашению народного артиста СССР Владимира Спивакова и митрополита Волоколамского Илариона (Алфеева) хор принял участие в V Московском Рождественском фестивале духовной музыки на сцене ММДМ, представив программу «Свет Христов просвещает всех!».

Song Lyrics: TORTUGA WAITS
1.When the law doesn’t fit
And ruins your life-plan
Scaffold squeaks beneath your feet
The crowd wildly yells
Your choice is up to you
To hang or run about
To feed the birds while people laugh
Or to become a pirate
2.I’ve changed my gold-woven suit
For the wicked Black Flag
And precious father-given cross
Is wrapped in old tail-coat
Tortuga calls for everyone
It’s mother for the lost souls
If ship became your native home
You can become a pirate!
Chorus: Three mugs of rum and total drive
With flying colors we go back
The fight is won Tortuga waits
Bars, pubs and wine and yo-ho-ho!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
