    Mozart: The piano concerto in C minor no.24.

    The ashtonishing and, if only I knew some of the history of music would dare say revolutianary first movement, ends with the upper voices doing C-Db-C-B-C (flutes for instance). Such an energetic piece of music ending with those measures with that slight sadness! In that time feelings like that (sadness) cuold not, and should not be seen from the outside. Perhaps it's the delicacy in the expression of feelings that makes 18th century music so wonderful that it deserved the name of classisism. You just presiente the feeling is there but it will never be visible. I remember somebody once spoke about the depths of Mozart's heart.

      Yes this work is quite wonderful - Beethoven himself was in awe of it.

          Speaking of Mozart, I've been listening to his Great Mass in C Minor. Another wonderful creation.

            I'm looking into pieces for my schola cantorum to sing. Byrd's Gradualia are truly wonderful! I'm listening to this right now:

            William Byrd - Mass Propers for Easter Day: Introit - Resurrexi
            Choir of The Queen's College Oxford - Owen Rees

                  No, it just says, This Video is not available.

                  I was thinking I might be able to listen on Spotify free trial.

                  I can listen to extracts on this page:- https://itunes.apple.com/fr/album/ch...ign-mpt=uo%3D4

                            Vladimir Horowitz's live performance of the Tchaikovsky #1 with Toscanini conducting.
                            WOW!

                                some of my favourite Handel chorusses:

                                Solomon: Praise the Lord --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eEHLg_c8iE

                                Dettinger Te Deum --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLYZ0NyXz7o&t=1704s :

                                --> 9. Day by day we magnify Thee,And we worship Thy Name
                                --> 11. O Lord, in Thee have I trusted

                                Esther, final Chorus --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klR0HN3rrV8
