No, SL Weiss did not go to medical school — it only seems that way because he’s so good at ripping your heart out.

Night Tracks: Well, courts & lawyers have been all over the news. I couldn’t help it — made a playlist of composers whose fallback plan was studying law—but ended up at court anyway: Telemann, Heinichen, Graupner, Bach boys (WF, CPE, JC), Handel, Mozart’s dad…
(Some selections from specific courts are featured in Comments)

Out of Soft Machine and into the concert hall, Karl Jenkins composed a baroque style with a clear nod to Vivaldi's Four Seasons.

In this opening movement, solo parts begin to emerge and alternate with concert motifs, building drama and suspense.

You might know it from the diamond adverts.

Sir William Herschel was a busy guy.
• 200+ compositions
• Astronomer, oboist, violinist, harpsichordist
• Built his own telescope, discovered Uranus, 000’s of stars and nebulae
• Introduced the word ‘asteroid’ so we can describe them as being the size of 84 orcas
• An experiment inspired the design of a bus station in Slough UK 🇬🇧

“Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres…”
What does one listen to during the Great Social Split of ought-23?!

Night Tracks: From album “Gaul Me Maybe.”
Daniel Schlosberg performs Jean-Henri d’Anglebert Pièces de Clavecin Suite 3 in d.

Not usually a modern 🎹 fan for Baroque, but it’s well done and who can resist a punny title?

Night Tracks: Spinal Tap’s Nigel Tufnel would appreciate “…D minor which is the saddest of all keys, I find.”
Hair-band-wannabe, Lully student and composer Jean-Féry Rebel’s “Le Cahos/Chaos” is worth turning up to 11 for the first 30 seconds. Dare ya.

July 4, 1674: Lully’s opera Alceste premiered at Versailles for Louis XIV. This July 4, I’m in a city named for another King Louis, cleaning up from a derecho that derailed plans and uprooted trees. Power out for 3 more 35C+ days.
From Alceste, “Les Vents”, the North wind strengthening to a storm.

Night Tracks: Jean-Marie Leclair, composer-violinist-dance master and victim in classical music’s most enduring murder mystery. Whodunnit—gardener with a rap sheet, unfaithful and broke estranged wife, or grudge-collector nephew? Some mesmerizing violin concertos queued up.

This performance is just soooo and gorgeous. Nadine Koutcher singing Rameau's "Tristes Apprêts". This is Telaire lamenting the loss of her lover Castor.

Hard to believe it's possible to sing so softly and yet so beautifully.

Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) was an Italian violin virtuoso and composer of baroque music (c. 1600-1750). Best known for his violin concertos, notably The Four Seasons, Vivaldi made a significant contribution to the evolution of instrumental music, influencing Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) amongst many others, particularly in the concerto form. worldhistory.org/Antonio_Vival

There was a time when going to a concert meant choosing the coolest band t-shirt to wear. Now it's making sure I've changed the hearing aid battery and I have the right medication to cover all eventualities.
An evening of awaits. 🙂
