"And the night shall be filled with music,
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs
And as silently steal away."
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
A beautiful Vivaldi concerto to finish the week on. I love this concerto and J.S. Bach loved it too, as he arranged it for solo organ.
Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) Concerto for two violins in A Minor (RV 522)
L'Estro Armonico, Op.3.No.8.
Chamber Orchestra of the Vienna State Opera Recording: 1964 Mario Rossi (cond.) Willi Boskowsky, Jan Tomasow (solo violins).
You do find the nicest recordings. We had an evening of Dvorak and Mozart - friends and I - last evening. Still basking in the loveliness. Today, though, I'm listening to Verdi's Requiem. Seems an appropriate commentary for my Valentine's Day.
ReplyDeleteHappy V. Day and thanks for the lovely music.
