Yes I am going for contrasts this evening. I've been clearing out my recently passed Mother's house for the last 6 weeks, and wanted to think of her. We listened to Vivaldi, often. :^)

Some early listening (a lot of wee-hours headphone listening lately, waiting for meds to kick in):
Bach: Six Sonatas for Violin And Piano
Michelle Makarski, violin; Keith Jarrett, piano
ECM 2013
Beautiful, intimate recording and performance, very nice for headphones

Listening to . . . The Enchanted Isles - Harp Music of Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales

Carol Thompson - Harp


A Dorian CD, recorded in 1993

Beautiful, restful, amazingly well played and well recorded - This is a close your eyes and just listen recording - taking care not to fall back to sleep. I love the sound of a harp and this is one of the most enjoyable listens of that ilk known to me.
