The long-suffering Mrs. Ojai hasn't said anything about the recent profusion of ancient religious music. However, she did just light a candle and place it on my desk. Maybe I should consider adding a collection box. :)

Call it Tetzel's Treasury. Add a nice sign: "We beg your indulgences."

ETA: Hope and pray she doesn't do to your neck what happened to the poor friar depicted.
 
Halle Orchestra (John Barbirolli, cond.) - Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 6 "Pathetique" (1964)

One of the more intellectual women I dated once told me that I had a lot in common with Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony. I hadn't a clue until I looked it up, thereby neatly validating her point. :confused:

Actually, the title is a mistranslation into French of "Passionate". Be that as it may, this album, made during the height of Beatlemania, is an inspired performance of classic repertoire by a solid orchestra under a brilliant conductor.
 
San Francisco Symphony & Chorus (Herbert Blomstedt, cond.) - Orff: Carmina Burana (1991)

Carl Orff's sprawling cantata receives a lavish, enthusiastic performance from Blomstedt and the San Franciscans, good enough to win the "Best Choral Performance" Grammy in 1992.
 
Claude Helffer, Orchestre National de France (David Robertson, cond.) - Milhaud: Le Carnaval D'Aix, 5 Etudes, Concertos Nos. 1 & 4, Ballade (1993)

That's sure a lotta different music for one disc. :confused:

Milhaud was a man who said what he had to say quickly. Each piano concerto was less than 20 minutes. :oops:
