Music For Medical Recuperation

[richardfinegold]

Thanks to all who have offered good wishes. Today my blood pressure is quite low and my Cadiologist has cut back on meds and liberalized salt and fluid intake. While the lightheaded ness is crimping the fun of being home playing sick, the liberalized diet is welcome. My wife is a Registered Nurse and today is our 11 th Wedding Anniversary. We have at least a nice shared dinner to look forward to, possibly Thai.
Laying on the couch in our main room streaming files from my phone to a Blutooth DAC connected to the Home Theater
Setup. Also listening to Chicago's WFMT. I have Bernstein's Amsterdam Mahler 1playing now. The cuckoos are making me miss the fine outdoor weather.
Played Haitink/CSO Resurrection earlier, but when the Day of Judgement came, after what I have just been through, I thought "perhaps not"

All the very best Richard - how about some Mozart .

I agree with Barbs. Mozart piano concertos - they cannot but do you good!

Only just caught up with this thread.
Best wishes Richard and Nick.
I recommend daily doses of

Music For Medical Recuperation

OK, we need a thread on what music you want want to be able to listen to during a medical convalescence. (Well, I at least need this at the moment, but eventually all of us may be, or have been, in the same boat).
So it has been suggested on another thread that Mozart Piano Concertos get the thumbs up, and Mahler's Resurrection, not so much.
What would you choose? I am currently listening to the Brahms PC 2, and that opening horn call is some of the most gorgeous music ever penned. I know I won't win any style points with my next choice, the 4 Seasons, but hey, it's popular for a reason--it's fun and indestructible.
Then on to Handel for some Water Music.
And yours?

[Nick Armstrong]

Of course the most explicitly appropriate piece would be the middle (3rd) movement of Beethoven's Op 132 String Quartet: the "Heiliger Dankgesang eines Genesenen an die Gottheit, in der lydischen Tonart" or...

"Holy song of thanksgiving of a convalescent to the Deity, in the Lydian Mode".



Apart from which it's just bloomin' fabulous music!

Strauss waltzes! You'll forget all about being ill with a batch of these.

I had forgotten that you were such a fan of Der Rosenkavalier....

Ka-pow!!

Ka-pow!!

Maria Callas on the radio now singing the big climactic aria from Butterfly. My goodness, everybody's problems seem trivial after that...

Best wishes for your speedy recovery.

R3 can come to your rescue here, with anything performed by a New Generation Artist. (They're all aspirin')

I guess you don't need too many musical suggestions - plenty in the collection to go at - but just in case - how about a load of Faure, Debussy and Ravel for starters!
Best wishes for your recovery.
