Very clever. Never heard of him before.

MarsGal.....yes but you only get five minutes not nine.....sorry but I assumed everyone had heard of the late slapstick comedy man, of Charlie Drake...1925 â€" 2006....

We lead off with two works by Albinoni---maybe---because the work for which he is so well known was probably not created by him; that's the adagio. We have also made note of Tchaikovsky's birthday with arguably his greatest work.

I am here early and will get comfortable  to enjoy the program today. DON  the list looks like it will be great.

Here I am! I've already done my Latin, so now I am reading on some Linux programming. My OS lost a file I need for the printer manager.

Here as well, all ears!

Hi everybody. Sorry I'm late.

Vienna Choir Boys are always a joy to listen to. I loved it.

They are often the group I turn to when I'm running out of imagination and need something to play

Tarantella... lively and as heady as good wine

Thank you for at long last telling me the name of that haunting melody - Swedish Rhapsody - it was also made in a famous French song in the sixties and was on all the juke boxes.

Bubble the Swedish Rhapsody was a long-time hit in North America too.

Layla Tov! The last Massenet was just right to send me to a restful  night
Thanks for good music.

DON  loved today's selections. Enjoyed every thing while just sitting back and listening.

BUBBLE  I could have slipped off to dreamland with a few of today's music but was afraid I would miss something.

Now I am mad at myself. did not listen to Don as I was gone.  "The Vienna Boys Choir". I missed it.  How I miss them now on Public Tel. New Years Eve. It came from Vienna every year. I do have one year on Tape.

JeanneP You can redeem yourself by catching another one of your favourites: Slaughter on 10th Avenue.

The collaboration of Charpentier and Moliere makes for a delightful interlude as does the vocal presentation the 11-year old wunderkind Jackie Evancho. And of course, you can all sing along with Rach's Vocalise. And as a reminder, there will be no broadcast next Sunday. That's a holiday weekend and on such ocassions the station suspends all quality programmes.

I look forward to Gabriel’s Oboe.

I have to make sure I stay home at the concert time tomorrow. There are 4 of my favourites on that list.  Thing is the weather is so beautiful here this weekend I have to get outdoors.  Just can't get Don up on my Ipad or the Amazon Fire tablet. Speakers not loud enough or could take out with me.  Maybe try to do lunch at the time.

With a Nor'easter here today what better way to spend the afternoon listening to the wonderful music you have for us, DON.

JeanneP Try using your headphones with you Ipad

Bubble, I cheated and went to Munich from 2005,

Hi gang!

Don't have head phones for the IPad. Didn't know you could plug any in.  I will listen on Desktop. Good and loud on it and I can walk around the house a little.

Ok, so I didn't mow all the backyard. Although it isn't too hot out, it is humid and buggy after all the rain the last two days.

I'm guessing I came in on the Quartetto.

Hungaria is so satisfying

I missed Tchaikovsky because of a phone call

Hi MarsGal

Hi Bubble

Gabriel’s Oboe - that melody pulls the strings of my heart   

 I remember seeing Jackie Evancho on America's got talent and was so disappointed that she didn't win with her beautiful voice.

I think that's the programme I saw her as well
