Well, this is my second ArkivCD (and I must have ordered it when it was on sale, because now the price is $3 more);  and I am very glad of the ArkivCD program.

I do get a tickle, though, out of the faithfulness with which the cover art is reproduced.  The liner notes are not included (and they disclosed that early and often); but the back cover of the Marco Polo has the traditonal box with "English Text / Deutscher Text / Texte en français" right there, and mistaken . . . .

My 41st birthday morning music is centered around the most majestic, ecstasy-inducing piece I've ever heard:


Mozart's 41st Symphony, aka the Clarion Call of Angels.

Happy 41st may you see many more! Bring on the dancing girls !

Last nights 'meditation music'


Fantastic music , but not suited to my 'meditation' approach. The build in the forst movement had me keep turning the volume down.


This was perfect My first listen and it was a real gem. I'll be seeking out more of his work.

Thanks.

[Solitary Wanderer]

Haydn – Trumpet Concerto

H K Gruber – Three Mob Pieces

[pjme]

before sleeping - it's a beautiful night : Ralph Vaughan Wiliams Serenade to Music ( EMI/Boult/sixteen great voices)!



good night!

[George]

WOW! Thanks, George!

Sorry, couldn't find one with brown hair and brown eyes.   

[BachQ]

I know, Mozart's out of the running after this year (laughing and mourning at the same time).

Just switch allegiances to Haydn, and you'll be fine through your 104th birthday!  Birthday #105 will, however, become problematic .........

Seconded.

Goodmorning Que.


Mozart.Divertimento, and 4 Adagio's & Fugues after Bach.

L' Archibudelli.

The recording made in 1991 is outstanding!
The performance too, not to say the joy of period instruments.
If nothing can convert you, these recordings will, believe me.
The music is gorgeous, finely attuned to my ears this gloomy morning.
There is not a single disc, and there are 11 of them that disappoints.
I call that a 100% score.

[Valentino]

Like cats copulating on a tin roof: Bach: Goldberg variations. Ketil Haugsand, harpsichord. Superb. What better music and music making for a solo harpsicord reference recording?

God morgen!

And Harry, I absolute agree on your comments above. That disc is outstanding, and it's a divertimento in name only. Mozart at his very most ingenious.
