This is how one usually hears it, with cellos and orchestra.

i love this guy


he's abstract, like mozart, but he's not so  . . . intense, maybe?

mozart always sounds to me like he's chainsmoking while he plays, and this guy is more of a sit-down-and-enjoy-this sound.

maybe not. i feel pretty pretentious trying to categorize this stuff. but i'm rebuilding 50-year-old carburetters today, and vivaldi suits it better than mozart.

Vivaldi is excellent music to listen to when one rebuilds carburettors.

The Asmo is all electronic-ish this morning, what with them electrons getting ever-more precious.

I love watching rehearsals. In this case one of the great pianists, Martha Argerich, with conductor Charles Dutoit, rehearses the Ravel Piano Concerto in G major.


I forgot to mention that Charles is her ex husband.

Here she is playing the Shostakovich Piano Concerto No. 1, again without the aid of a score.
