Nicola Benedetti: What do you think of this album with the Mendelssohn concerto? I have her CD with the Szymanowski concerto etc., and what I hear is a very small tone, and the recording isn't so hot, either. I keep wondering, why is this young lady making recordings? She should have a nice career amongst the second violins. But all I know is that one CD.

What, the bedroom eyes aren't enough for you?

And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming...

Pachelbel Canon, Albinoni Adagio & Other Baroque Melodies
Tomaso Albinoni (Composer), Johann Pachelbel (Composer), format: vinyl

I seem to have acquired 5 versions of this, but this RCA one is my favorite.

But on long out of print VINYL!

What a great piece! Gives The Messiah a run for its money. But that could be just b/c I've heard/played the Messiah a million times.

Ah! I love the 7th! I'd say, after #5 it's 7, 9 and 11 for me! All odd numbers, hmmmmmm.
