Famous Four: Oh, No! Not Again?

[Thropplenoggin]

Rameau is top of my list from that time to really discover.

And Frescobaldi is the best name in history. ever. Bar none.
Apart from an old school teacher's dog which rejoiced in the name of "Hofflewiffle."

I beg to differ.

I beg to differ.

Close, Le Noggin.. I'll give you human 2nd place for the 20/21st centuries, after another man with French connections....

Ha! It's a done deal!

Le Tiss - the maverick's maverick during a vintage time for English football mavericks - Asprilla at Newcastle, Cantona at Man U.

That free kick where he scoops it up to himself and effortlessly blasts it in...still sends chills down this spine. So effortless, such artistry!

I was there, as for so many, right behind the goal. That goal won us a dour vital game late on. The two late goals against Newcastle were just breathtaking...
Happy days....

(sorry, OT, back to Rameau...)

Barbara Strozzi.....please don't shoot the messenger!

Hey Catherine - just bought an obscure CD of yours, Korndorf Hymn 2 and Hymn 3, amazed to find it, I'd heard the RFH broadcast (1993?) and never forgot its impact! I guess I'd have preferred your gripping final intonations in No.3 to be in English as per live, but the Greek has a stony evocative poetry of its own...!

A great listen!

Oh yes...
TELEMANN!
Rameau,
Alessandro Scarlatti,
Charpentier
CPE Bach....

Hey, Vints, you omitted Pancrace Royer!

[Veronika]

Alessandro Stradella! I still remember the Early Music Show about him a few years ago.

Hey, Vints, you omitted Pancrace Royer!

... saving him for my next foursome - or fivesome

I have caught a few snippets of the episodes broadcast at 1830 during my drive home. Very posh commentator on COTW with Donald MacLeod at the moment - novelist, biographer and avid Handelian, Jonathan Keates. I presume it is this chap - interesting author statement here

according to Wiki, Keates is "very interested in Venice".

Marvellous.

Bryanston is very nice. It's how I imagine a little bit of the empire used to be.

Oh. Let myself down there, I guess !

Oh, Dixit Dominus… Didn’t DM say yesterday that he would be talking about Agrippina today? I wish there were playlist to tell us what we are going here, not what we heard.
