What are you listening to now?

It's also a poignant piece for me - I played it years ago (1979) at school in a local music festival. My friend who played the 'cello part, Robert Eaton was killed in the 9/11 attacks.

That is tragic Peter, I am very sorry to learn that.

Thank you Megan - that Op.1 trio though is such a fun light hearted piece - it always makes me think of a young man brimming with life and confidence and that's also how I remember Robert as a cheeky fun loving 14 year old!

Franz Liszt: A LA CHAPELLE SIXTINE: Miserere d'Allegri et Ave verum corpus de Mozart, S461



I was saying to Roehre on the other channel, that the piano transcription is not nearly as beautiful as the original sung version, which is a masterpiece of renaissance polyphony
