Calming musical interlude for spicy markets, from Big Al
I first heard this piece as a teenager, sitting in the theater
watching Barry Lyndon, and I was transfixed:
The Messiaen Trio performs Schubert's Trio No. 2 in E-flat Major, D. 929
I did not know this Mendelssohn work until today and I wondered if
somebody said to her, "Oh yeah? Well, try it in heels!"
Yuja Wang Mendelssohn Songs Without Words Op 67 No 2
Peter Ringel writes:
my emergency high vola setup always includes Chopin. everything to stay off tilt.
Big Al responds:
Gotta love Chopin for the workday playlist.
Chopin: 24 Preludes, Op. 28, Vladimir Ashkenazy
Another discovery for me (fades out but still enjoyable):
Interpreti Veneziani, Antonio Vivaldi RV711 Gelido in Ogni Vena, Davide Amadio

I heard Yuja play Op 67 No 2 in the Lincoln center at my first show I’ve attended there. I did not know much of the other amazing music she played but the minute she played this I was blown away. I still think of that song and I still can’t believe I got to see it live!
