Pastorali,
That sounds great. If you are liking Vivaldi AND cello, let me recommend to you the Op 14 sonatas for cello and continuuo. They are outstanding.
As for me, I am still celebrating Haydn, this morning the Trio for Piano & Strings in f# minor Hob 16:39. Written after the 2 big London trips, these very late trios have enough complicated interest for anyone to like!

Hi Gurn
Yes I do! Thanks for info. I must take a look on much more works of Vivaldi, for me he is the real "Good mood maker"!!

Right before it was Haydn's Cello Concertos 1&2, with St. Martin in the Field & Neville Marriner, Heinrich Schiff Cello. Both are wonderful concerts, but I prefer the second one

[Gurn Blanston]

Started the day properly with B's great 2nd Symphony for the drive to work, and now the Sonata in G for Piano - #5 - K 189h - Mozart - It is going to be a good day!

Beethoven's "The Creatures of Prometheus" Ballet Op. 43. Good listning for this rainy morning.

[Gurn Blanston]

Quartet in Eb for Piano & Strings - Op 87 - Robert Schumann - Known mainly for other genres, particularly solo piano, Schumann could sure write some good chamber music!

While I am still listening to Schumann, this time his Trio for Piano & Strings in F - #2 - Op 80 - Beaux Arts Trio

I carry on my Quartet-Week, in the meantime I reached Op. 130

The right stuff for a starry night walk! Has anybody seen this beautiful constellation of all the planets and the moon, in the last days? Cosmic music for cosmic events!

And I believe that cosmic lineup of planets won't be happening again for a very looong time so I'm glad you're enjoying it! As for me this whole week has been a "Beethoven Extravaganza". That's what they're calling it on the radio anyway. All week at 7:00pm it's been Beethoven. Piano Concerto #2, his Quintet, Piano Trio, quartets and various sonatas. Beethoven heaven!

The amazingly little-known Concerto in G for Piano & Orchestra - #2 - Op 44 by Tchaikovsky - Romantic excess at its very best

Haydn, Piano Sonata No. 39 in D major, Hob.XVI:24, Jeno Jando, piano.

Last evening: Haydn, Divertimento in B Flat, Hob II/46 "St Anthony Chorale". But the announcer says this might not be by Haydn, actually. However, it contains the famous theme for Brahms' Variations on a Theme by Haydn. First time I've heard that 'in situ'. Very nice...So should it be called Brahms' Variations on a theme Possibly Not by Haydn?

Now Haydn's Sonata No. 41, Hob.XVI:26. The opening allegro has great vitality and rhythmic drive.
