And more catching up!
In the car on the way to and from work:
Editors - An End Has a Start
Elbow - Leaders of the Free World
On Grooveshark, at work on earphones for calming effect:
Bach - Cello Suites, 2, 4, and 6.
While walking:
Corelli - Concerti Grossi Op.6 No.s 4 and 8
On arrival at home:
Shostakovich - Symphony No.13
In the evening:
Beethoven - Triple Concerto
Brahms - Double Concerto
The Corelli is deeply nostalgic for me, particularly No.8, which is a favourite of my Mum's. Remember many evenings in my early teens sitting with my mum & stepfather, drinking Sancerre & listening to those concerti. As long as I could convince them that I'd done my homework, both Corelli & Sancerre were permitted!!
I guess those are slightly unconventional things for a teenager to like, but that's the sort of teenager I was!!

Cello Suites on cello or viola? Do you remember who was playing?
ReplyDeleteI usually listen to Nobuko Imai on viola, but this particular occasion was Janos Starker on cello! Always sound rather strange when I hear them on cello as I'm so used to playing/hearing them on the viola!
ReplyDeleteOh, how is Nobuko Imai's? I think it's hard to find here in the U.S.if at all.
ReplyDeleteI really like Nobuko Imai's - yes, I checked on US Amazon, not a sign of it - it's easily downloadable on the UK one. If I find out anything else I'll let you know.
