Handel's gloomy penultimate oratorio, Theodora, about Christian martyrs:




Sarge
the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."
                               --Charles Bukowski, "Mahler"

Nothing serious to say right now, Harry. No time. I've got to get dinner started. All I'll say now is, it has a bargain-counter tenor I can actually listen to: Daniel Taylor. Maybe there's hope for me yet  ;D

Mozart - Symphony No. 20 in D major, K 133 - Mozart Akademie Amsterdam/Jaap Ter Linden

I got suddenly intererested of Mozart's earlier symphonies and I have been listening to my Mozart box. In a certain state of mind this is enjoyable music.
Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.

Mahler's 9th, the first movement (andante comodo)...extraordinary, amazing that this was composed in 1909! 
I think that this movement as a whole is Mahler's greatest single achievement.

James,
You are listening at a "Harry's Pace" today!

Well and if in the end you cannot live with it, I can, so in that case you may donate it to me. ;D
I accept of course. ;D

Johann Christian Bach.

Piano Trios opus 2 & 15.

Trio 1790. (On period instruments)

Amazing works, well written excellent performed and recorded, no less I expect from this Trio 1790, since I have many recordings of them, and they never disappointed me, so far.

If you splice them together Harry, do they make a mural.  ;D

approx total listening time: 108 minutes ...so roughly 1 hr. and 48 minutes.

I'm surprised by your listening habits! :)  Don't you listen to entire works?
I don't even bother to program my CD player - just listen through the whole disc, or sometimes starting halfway when the CD contains two larger works.

Guys - kind of a cross between some of the early 20th century artists, like Miro et al - I have several of those Trio 1790 CDs and the cover art is certainly interesting - posted one on the composer Just a few pages back (believe bought because of a Harry recommendation -  ;D

Harry - that's interesting!  I just (sorry about the pun!) received that CD last week from the Amazon Marketplace (Caiman) - maybe one of the last ones available -  :o   Dave
