What are you listening to now?

[Zevy]

That is the symphony without menuetto, isn't it?

Yes it is. I believe it would be quite extensive with an added menuetto, although there's never enough Mozart. Happy birthday WAM wherever you are!

[Enrique]

Oh, I see. Thanks Zevy.

Last night on Exploring Music I listened to Cello concertos by Vivaldi, Boccherini, and Haydn. I found it to be very delightful music!

Indeed - here is an exhilarating performance of the last movement of Haydn's cello concerto in C played by a youthful Stjepan Hauser some ten years ago.

Thanks, Peter! That was a great way to get the morning going. What surprised me most is the lack of winds, but as you said, a wonderful performance!

Among some other works, Exploring Music featured the final movements of Dvorak's and Elgar's Cello concerti. That's enough to create a sober, introspective mood.

Pivoting now from Cage, Ligeti et al, here are some wonderful Haydn piano sonatas.played by Jeno Jando, performed simply and without affectation, exactly as written on the box :

This was a new one for me; thanks for sharing it! I found the video to be a bit distracting from the music itself, yet was interesting in relation to the music.

Last night:
