Day 47

There is something about a Sunday morning that calls for a French Composer; or maybe I was just too relaxed.

Side One.
Pieces: Tzigane (Rapsodie de concert)
Performer: Izthak Perlman, violin, London Symphony Orchestra
Conductor: Andre Previn
Le Trombeau de Couperin
Performer: Chamber Symphony of Philadelphia
Conductor: Anshel Brusilow
Composer: Maurice Ravel
Record Date: None Given

Side Two;
Pieces: Valses nobles et sentimentales
Symphony: Chicago Symphony Orchestra
Conductor: Fritz Reiner
La Valse (Poeme choregraphique)
Symphony: Boston Symphony Orchestra
Conductor: Charles Munch

There is just a light heartiness to Ravel that cannot be denied; perfect for a lazy Sunday morning. And with that, I'm heading off to a lazy Sunday Bed.

Goodnight Internets.
