Oh, yes. Wonderful choice; I especially love Mars and Jupiter.
Some Lightnin' Hopkins Soul Blues for this Saturday afternoon -
Some of that good Instrumental doom from France.

Wow; what a gorgeous cover, must say that it looks fascinating - what is it like as an album?
It's sublime kora and cello music, "on the fringes of classical music" according to an NPR article I read. There is a sample of the music at the end of this article.
Terrific choice of music - I love Bach - but what an absolutely exquisitely gorgeous album cover. Beautiful.
A selection of some (perhaps undeservedly)somewhat less well known 60s classics, all of which I love, all those minor chords and keys: "Kites" & "Castle In The Sky" (both Simon Dupree), "No Milk Today" (Herman's Hermits), "Mr Armageddon", (The Locomotive), "World Spinning Sadly" (Parking Lot), "Bus Stop", (The Hollies), "Tin Soldier", (The Small Faces), and "For Your Love", (The Yardbirds).
Plus, "The Israelites" (Desmond Dekker), and the haunting "Where Do You Go To My Lovely?" (Peter Starstedt).

And now, via Erik Satie, I have arrived at the music of the sublime and ineffably flawless and sublime Mr Mozart.
Listen to Serenade No 10 in B Major, K 361, the "Gran Partita" Adagio, and wonder, awed, and stupefied, how something could be so....exquisitely perfect.

"A Day In The Life" - an absolute and timeless classic courtesy of The Beatles from their stunning album Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Well... I read the news of Sir Neville Marriner's passing at age 92. Increasingly I find myself shocked that conductors and performers who became familiar names in my youth have had the temerity to depart the planet of old age when in my (aging) mind they're all still at most 39-agains.

Anyway here come the memories of scraping up money to buy recordings of music performed by the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. So I've been listening to what I have in digital format and thinking for the nth time I need to convert some old LPs that are in excellent condition and need to come over so they'll get more of my attention!
