What are you listening to now?

[Peter]

Listening to Beethoven's last quartet Op.135, appropriate I think for today (26th March).

[Michael]

Prompted by you, Peter, I listened to the very last complete movement written by B: the substitute finale to the Opus 130 quartet. This music sounds like it was written by a man in his early twenties, full of the joy of life.

Yesterday it was a bit of Bach, but not the one we usually listen to, rather the 21st and oddest of the sons, P. D. Q.

Beethoven:
Christus am Oelberge opus 85

Appropriate. I meant to listen to it as well, but did not have time. Today I think it shall be Haydn's Stabat Mater and The Seven Last Words of Our Saviour on the Cross.

[Michael]

Listening to bits and pieces from the "Hall of Fame" programme on Classic FM which takes place each Easter. Listeners vote for the "Top 300 Classical Works." I usually manage to hear some of it each year. It annoys the hell out of me but I have a sort of awful fascination for it.
