mint Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Oh, Norman, do listen............and I know you have good speakers, thank goodness! This, IMHO, is compelling, magical, heart-stopping........have run out of adjectives but, luckily for us all, Bartolli has not run out of breath[:)][url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr_bTMlxd7c[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Well, I do hope the old rugger is listening; he says so little these days. You sure he is not in some distant laybye sitting on his scooter earphones on listening to Bartok's ad for baked beans, completely mummified?Do come back to play, Norman.

mint Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 Sorry, Gluey, OK, all read! I know about that link you provided; have a very wealthy American friend who has put in megabucks.Back to music, I had the most uncanny experience this morning. I was just thinking I'd like to hear a Handel organ concerto and I was just getting the CD out of the shelving unit, when it was announced on the radio that the English Chamber Orchestra would be playing Handel's organ concerto in G minor!Norman, did you get to hear that Arte programme I told you about and, if so, what did you think of the singing?
