Maybe I didn't post this:

Haydn Sym 103 - period instruments

Wow that slow start of #103 is so patient, it sounds like Wagner almost.

My favorite Handel Harpsichord Suite and this young lady does a magnificent job.

[Astreja]

I just found an outstanding version of one of my favourite pieces from the concert band repertoire, Holst's First Suite for Military Band in E-Flat Major, performed by the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra:





Great playing, great recording.  I'd love to hear them perform live, or even to just sit in on one of their rehearsals.

Von Suppe - Poet and Peasant Overture

[Rev. Rye]

I'm working on a Black Mirror Series 3 retrospective. Did you know "Heaven is a Place on Earth" is based on a melody by Bach?

[Minimalist]

Yes.  Also this






was based on the Minuet in G from the Anna Magdalena Notebook, and this






came from Beethoven's Sonata #8 in c ( Pathetique) 2'd movement.

A good tune is a good tune, no matter what century it is.

I might try to see Swan Lake, as done by California Ballet Company on Sunday. So I am listening to Op. 20 by Tchaikovsky on Spotify.
