(34,136 posts)We played that 2 or 3 years ago....2, I guess because last year was Mahler. It is such a wonderful piece. Thanks for the stimulus, I need to listen to it again.

(34,136 posts)very wonderful music when you post. I should actually respond or like but I have been lazy lately!
We play so much and I have played so much over the last 40+ years that I often forget what I have been so fortunate to play.
If you have not put this on your playlist before I would suggest for just amazing fun Prokofiev Symphony #5, I do not think I have ever had a better Eb clarinet part or a part with any instrument more fun than this one. Hang on. It is a goodie. Then there is the Shostakovich Violin Concerto No.1. Both are kinda like circus music at times and a real ride with some depth included in between the runs. Excellent music both. I find they often help me feel better when I get a little down.
For me I will stick with the Verdi today, a very good choice! Thanks!

(34,136 posts)I did not know that. I just see what you post and go load it into my phone and listen when I am mucking horse stalls! Today I will listen to Verdi with my second the rest of Our Revolution, that has been a good book to keep my spirits a little higher than usual. Hope for a future that is unlikely I will live to see but maybe my granddaughter will. Global warming aside.
Nice playlist today. Mmmm, very nice pieces and good variety!

There will be much more that can be put together and express the horror, the tragedy, the crimes...
