Excellent stuff - the flute concerto is not your usual sissy girlie concoction, but real he-man music. ;) Strong piano concerto as well.


And some music by Mozart's son ...

Cecilia Bartoli - St Petersburg (I Barocchisti, Diego Fasolis)
From Tidal in 16/44.1 FLAC, this one.

I've had this CD for at least 25 years! It's always a pleasure to return to it. Aficionados of the Four Seasons will recognise some of the music and vocal setting.
So ... I thought I'd try the full 'opera' ... They do rabbit on so. :scratch: I'll stick with the highlights, which focusses on the music rather than the drama. :)

Which leads on to more Vivaldi!

Not the Four Seasons!
Superb - I really can't fault the energy, enthusiasm, musicianship and virtuosity on display here.

William Boyce - 'Trio Sonatas Nos. 2, 8, 9 and 12'.

Malcolm Latchem: violin, John Brown: violin, Jane Ryan: 'cello and Dvid Lumsden: harpsichord

Vinyl: Musica Angelica, Oryx Collectors Series, Oryx 1729 Stereo


Know next to nothing about Boyce, apart from hearing the name. Pleasant enough, but not sufficient to make me want to pursue him further.

Tiring day yesterday, so for my evening music I just wanted a wash of beautiful sounds ....
