It's raining, and the woods are thinking of coming back. Once they break from the waning dark, ice, and thick snow, the birdsongs may return as well. May we all get to walk through the forest more often this year.



Thanks John, great find.

In memoriam, maestro.

Simple, beautiful readings of Bach,

Orchestra Mozart conducted by Claudio Abbado officially inaugurated the new
temporary Auditorium in L'Aquila with a special concert in the presence of
the President of the Italian Republic, Giorgio Napolitano.



All thanks to Alessandro from concertarchive. I straightup repackaged his broadcast recording, retagged and made up some dubious art for it.
