Hi Roehre,
I think it's time soon that we listened to Britten's A Ceremony of Carols. I love this work: the purity of boy sopranos (the voices, I mean), the obbligato harp, the ancient (medieval?) texts ...

Gabriel’s Meeting – Medieval English Christmas Music (Hyperion CD)

[Preston]

Listening to Mozart's Laudate Dominum from his Verperae solennes de confessore - K. 339.

This is very emotional, moving, other-worldly, etc. music to me. It literally feels different than anything I have felt before. I feel so much of the same things, this is very different.

What completely alludes me is this, how can the person who wrote music as glorious as the Laudate Dominum write works, like most of his piano concertos, with such a silly and quirky, etc. nature?

It alludes me. I can think of only two reasons that it would allude me - 1. I am hearing a lot of Mozart's music wrong, and it is not funny, quirky, etc. - 2. It is being played wrong.
