A musical interlude

[annathepiper]

One of my last two musical purchases was this album of Vivaldi concertos, since I really liked the album I listened to on Rhapsody while I was still at Real. This isn't the same album, and the pieces on it aren't all featuring mandolins, but overall I'm really liking the album anyway. It's not often that I will listen to a piece of music and find myself wanting to apply the words "exquisite" and "erudite" and meaning it, but this is definitely one of those times. The mandolin work in particular is amazing, light and delicate and intricate, and a pleasure to listen to even though one little mandolin doesn't quite manage to hold its own against the orchestra backing it up. It probably needed another mike.

Definitely digging me some Vivaldi. Two thumbs up.

In related news, I did also pick up The Edge of Silence by Solas, which I had also enjoyed on Rhapsody while at Real, and I'll be making another pass through that soon. But what I'm really looking forward to is tomorrow's release of Carbon Leaf's Love, Loss, Hope, Repeat.
