Maundy Thursday

I would like to open the windows of my house and play it loud to the deserted streets of my town.

I did that yesterday, and it felt good!
I've always had great respect for Paddington because he is amusingly English and a eccentric bear He is a great British institution and emits great wisdom with every growl. Of course I have Paddington at home, he is a member of the family, sure he is from the moment he was born. We have adopted him.

Next Naive Vivaldi. I like these aria collections.

Every single post on the forum is unnecessary. Including the ones that are interesting or useful.

Stała matka bolejąca, stabat mater dolorosa:

... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948

Those are both fine versions although I tend to play the Chandos most.

Never been very lucky with Carles Magraner, but recent positive comments from Mandryka et al persuaded me to try some stuff out.
As for instance:

I'm not always a fan of instrumental accompaniment, but not obtrusive here and quite a good performance!

What a strange coincidence. That is a favoured CD in my collection. Only yesterday I was pondering whether or not to take it down and put it on my playing schedule. I hope that you enjoyed it.

Schumann: String Quartet No.1 in A minor

Zehetmair Quartet

The influence of Mendelssohn in this quartet seems pretty clear, particularly in some of the transparent, scurrying passages. And perhaps hints of LVB in the Adagio.  .. But all very much Schumann in resplendent top gear and a delightful compositional contrast to the solo piano and lieder e.g.

(I think the blurry night time cover photo captures some of the scurrying, pirouetting momentum of the music nicely.)
