Jackie you are welcome; I wasn't sure about the Earl Grey tea though

Better late than never.  Hi, everybody.

Hi Pat!  Welcome back

Great seeing so many here today. St. George sure was not appreciated in his day but he composed some beautiful music. Sad when some look at color and not the person.

Gloria it's a sad reality that he did not receive the full recognition he deserved, although he was fortunate to advance as far as he did. If it were not for his father's high standing in French society he probably would never have received any attention at all.

Gloria we certainly do appreciate him today.  He is  often on the program of Swiss radio.

Glad you made it Pat    
I wonder where Prancer is?  Long time she didn't drop  in here

I am wondering who his " Anonymous Lover " was....? this is certainly happy music...

Angela Hewitt is one of my favorite Bach players.  She's better than anyone for making all the voices clear, so you can actually follow them.  I've been lucky to hear her in person twice.  She has a wonderful warm smile, which doesn't come through in her pictures.

aaaaahhhhhh **satisfied sigh**
I love it!

Interesting fact about Hisaishi....he has won the Japanese Academy Award for Best Music seven times in 1992, 93, 94, 99, 2000, 2009, and 2011...

I saw Princess Mononoke when it came out, but I was too busy trying to figure out what was going on to remember the music.  I like it now that I'm paying attention to it.

Miyazaki has directed and written a number of good films.

Jackie I have put that interesting item of trivia in my file for future use. You are now an official contributor to Reid's Records.

Don, glad to be of some assistance....anything that enhances Reid's Records. does that mean I am disqualified from answering my own questions?....I will have to sit that one out....

Choir boys - so pure voices - like I imagine for angels...

and here is one of my favorites... Thank you!


Phew.... I had a moment of disorientation there!  

You wern't the only one who was disoriented.  I wasn't paying attention. 

Well not sure how Alessandro did it with his colourful life but, as a freelance composer he wrote over 300 works..

I had 2 tiresome days so have been lazy, laying on the couch just listening and enjoying all todays music. No I did no doze off either. 

DON how could you miss the Beatles music?

Jackie I guess he mastered the art of multi-tasking.
Gloria I guess I should be appropriately embarrassed.

And I thought it was just us women who could multi-task....

Well Carmen was most-most  good ending thanks for the feast to my ears.
Layla Tov!   Heading for bed now, with a smile on my lips

DON  it was only my 3 listening to the Beatles that heard them. That last one reminded me of the flip side of an old record I had. The name of that was Beat out that Rhythm on a Drum.  I remembered the fun my friends and I had listening to that. Thank you for another wonderful afternoon

Thank you Don, a nice calming ending...

Completely forget it is Sunday. Missed the whole thing. Bummer!

Oh nooooo! MarsGal, such a pity as it was a most enjoyable one.  Pity they do not tape it for a repeat during the week.
Maybe one they they will put it "on request".

Good morning so P bubble, yes a shame as it was a very enjoyable show this week.....made even special as I got myself a mention.....

Yes, I heard that with a huge smile on my face I thought to myself: I know  whom that refers to!

Don gave me a heads up that I would be hearing from him after the music he was playing ended....

Hi Everyone
Not sure if you have heard of the classical violinist Nigel Kennedy.

His Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons' is brilliant and I see he is appearing later this year in Liverpool. I would like to go and see him in concert.
