Vivaldi: Concerto pour 4 violons en si mineur - Pham/Gjezi/Darmon/Tudorache - OCNE/Krauze

Vivaldi, who was a priest faked a health problem so he could be excused from saying daily Mass.

He became so disconnected when he would suddenly feel, see, smell a melody, that he had to run into the Vestibule to write it down.

When you listen to the 3rd movement that starts at 6:10, it's easy to understand.

Pure genius.

Who could perform Mass with all that rolling around in your head?

If you're not familiar with Scarlatti you're in for a treat. 


Glenn Gould plays Scarlatti Sonata in D minor K 9 L 413

Glenn Gould was as fine a player of Scarlatti as any pianist in the world.  He was particularly renowned as an interpreter of the keyboard music of Johann Sebastian Bach.

Speaking of simplicity.  I found this piece on a compilation album called Simply Summer.

Picture lounging on a soft sand beach.  Before you, a light blue cloudless sky painted above a deep blue ocean. Small white triangles dot the heaving water in the distance.  A warm breeze embraces you as you turn and glance at your lover - her hair swirling in the wind, her lips red and inviting.  The sound of seagulls circle above and mix with the crashing waves that retreat into foamy stillness.  You draw her near, then caress her lips with a soft, lingering kiss.

I play this on the classical guitar.  Fell in love with it the first time I heard it.
