Listening to . . . Handel - Concerti Grossi Op. 3, Sonata á5
The Academy of Ancient Music - Richard Egarr Cond. A very nice rendition of this lovely, but familiar music; by a lovely, but familiar musical group; with its lovely, but familiar conductor/director . . . In other words, ho-hum, here is another well done recording of this lovely, but familiar Handel masterpiece.

Vivaldi: The Four Seasons
Nice to see you again, Julian. As always, enjoyed your pithy commentary...
Just heard... Vivaldi: The Four Seasons Concerto Italiano, Rinaldo Alessandrini  A very theatrical performance of this familiar music. Nicely done and recorded. Last edited by cma29; 10-10-2017 at 11:59 AM.
