Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Pure Bliss

How's this band? Perlman, Barenboim, Du Pre, and Zuckerman with a bit of Schubert's Trout.

I don't listen to Classical music too often, although I own Bach's Brandenburg Concertos and I listen to it sometimes. I was just listening to U2's Joshua Tree and I'm currently listening to the eponymous Portishead CD.

If this piece doesn't move you...

Heh. Well, I haven't listened to it yet. I'll get the headphones on and give it a listen in a little bit.

I've moved on to James Taylor in the interim (on my box), while I'm cleaning my office.

I'll report my findings after I get a good listen, eh?

My colleagues like good music.

I enjoyed the music but with too many distractions unfortunately. Watching the musicians and the performance was wonderful. It's always a pleasure when the camera allows such intimate moments with talented artists.

I purchased Schubert: Trout Quintet; Arpeggione Sonata; Die Forelle by Emanuel Ax for more thorough consideration. I'm listening now in fact.

Wikipedia has an interesting page devoted to the Trout Quintet.

My impression after listening w/o distractions... I will enjoy this very much. I'm happy for the purchase.

Thanks for sharing something so wonderful.
