What's new

What music are you listening to right now!?!?

Handel's Messiah, Christopher Hogwood on a 1980 L'Oiseau-Lyre LP set. Probably wont get through the whole oratorio tonight. I love this version, a small-scale, original-instrument performance intended to duplicate a specific 1754 event conducted by Handel himself. It just seems more "right" to me than the typical modern, bombastic extravaganzas. YMMV, of course.

Here's a link to a YouTube version of a similar performance by the same forces:

Oops, forgot I was in shuffle mode. Now listening to the Abbey Road album. Shuffle off.

I'll get back to Moby later. The Beatles are sounding good.

I do not mind modern interpretations just as long as I have a chance to hear it as we assume it must have sounded. Have you heard Justin Bieber's version? Magical I say, just magical. BTW: I approve of your preference.
 
Beetles, Schmeetles. Who need the geriatric band AKA Rolling Stones or that group of amateurs named after a failed example of German Blimp engineering called a Zeppelin or Glam Rock groups like Metallica and The Lawrence Welk Orchestra, when we have perhaps the finest song ever recorded:


Or the literal version:

Sorry for being silly, but I am bored, lonely and out of strong drink, so I am having Vanilla Extract on the rocks and I think it has affected me tonight. Burp and belch.
