Allegri's Miserere, sung by The Sixteen.  Bliss.

Myself, playing thru Charlier's Transcendantes Etudes. Well, the first one...the others I'm listening to before attempting.

I was listening to a performance of a movement from Mozart's Horn Concerto No 4.  I thought it technically pretty poor, the sound was often bad and at times the player had to slow down to manage some phrases.  Why the hell did BBC Radio 3 bother to play that?   Then the announcer said that the bloke was playing it on a length of garden hose!  Suddenly I realised what an amazing effort it was.  I wish I'd known from the start.

A little air candy to celebrate pay day.

[Magdalena]

Bamboleo - Gipsy Kings

[OldGit]

Tschaikovsky, some stuff about Byron's 'Manfred'.  Quite pretty in a kitschy sort of way.  Seems to me Tschaikovsky would not have been missed if he had been sent to a Gulag.

[Tom62]

Some old Dutch music that is probably not known outside the Netherlands

Lucifer - House for Sale

Joey Dyser - 100 Years

Don't mind me, I'm just drunk.

Look at him with those mariachi looking pants with the high heels.
The eyeliner and huge shoulder pads with the sleeveless spandex shirt.
I like how he hits those hiiiiiiiiiiiiigh notes, and the way he dances! It's like watching a slinky doing its thing.
But why is there a woman in a burka wearing a thong?

Haven't heard that one....I was under the impression the bloke couldn't write a bad note.

Manic Street Preachers - Australia

Courtney Barnett, I hope she lives long and prospers.
It's none of my business though,
if she chooses briefer,
pseudo brighter.

Some more old Dutch music, that I grew up with and probably unknown outside the Netherlands

Shocking Blue - Never Marry a Railroad Man

Gruppo Sportivo - Disco Really Made It

Herman Brood - Saturday Night

Ramses Shaffy & Liesbeth List - Pastorale

It's a matter of taste, of course, but for myself I don't care for much of his stuff.  The 1812 is good fun, I suppose, in its excitable and overblown way.

Mahler it's not...I'll give you that.
