Rekindling

Today was the opportunity for Mozart's Brilliant Classics Vol.2-12 to shine. And it did, with the beautiful KV299, Concerto for Flute, Harp & Orchestra. What a lively mixture of timbres. At the same time, how lively, playful and mature KV622, Clarinet Concerto, was. A very comforting CD.

Next came along Beethoven's Triple Concerto, in the EMI Classics Double Forte CD. What a joy to listen to Beethoven after a long history of Bach and Mozart. Beautifully interpreted by Oistrakh (violin), Oborin (piano) and Knushevitzky (cello).

Finally, to end the session, was Bach's Brilliant Classics Vol.1-17, Lute Works. So gentle, much fuller than Vol1-16. The Prelude BWV999 sounds so great in Lute.
