Excellent musico-epicurean criticism. Why oh why can't we have more stuff like this?

Today : Tony Vivaldi : Juditha triumphans devicta Holofernis barbarie (RV644). Well, it is his birthday or something. Makes a change to the usual Four Weather Systems of the Year.

I'd be quite happy with Spring, it's perpetual Winter that's tiresome! Listening to Schubert's Notturno for piano trio and the two string trios D.581, D.471.

My dear 'fisher of men', you really should try a bit of Haydn to cheer you up. When I get fed up with Louis, I put on some Papa; when Papa begins to annoy me, I put on some Louis. They seem to complement each other so well.

[Chris]

I am listening to Haydn's L'anima del filosofo, ossia Orfeo ed Euridice, the last opera he wrote, but which went sadly unperformed until 1951!

[Zevy]

Listening to the complete symphonies + violin concerto and various overtures. Leonard Bernstein & NYP. Currently up to #5 - will be doing plenty of driving tomorrow!

[Bonn1827]

Roehre, the "Messe de Nostre Dame" by Machaut is absolutely wonderful is it not? I remember first hearing it when I studied Renaissance music for Musicology 1 decades ago. I can't give it up!!

[Chris]

Today I am listening to the six sonatas for violin and viola by Haydn. Charming works!
