Yes! I will have to listen more to get a better picture, but they are very attractive works on first listen. The fourth in particular stands out.

Why waste money on psychotherapy when you can listen to the B Minor Mass?

I was almost going to say, "psychotherapists need to make a living, too" . . . when I realized that they can just take up the Baroque violin instead!

I haven't yet heard that Rusalka, but I did get an earful about Fleming from the friend who joined me for Macbeth last night.  My friend (Dot) can't get enough of "O Silver Moon" from Rusalka and has been playing it over and over--and over.  She was joking that she needed to be in a 12-step program: "Hi, my name is Dot and I am a Renée Fleming addict."

Geez, really

Lovely morning music. (Though listening to Haydn often makes me want to listen to Beethoven (for that extra bite))

Nonetheless, this is delightful and my girlfriend approves.

Disc 54 from The Big Beethoven Box

Enjoyable, and I think I will likely find the whole enjoyable;  but it's not a disc I could listen to all at once . . . this one's a dipper . . . .
