Classical boosters…

leave a comment »

My late mother was fond of opera and classical music.    The only opera she ever dragged me to that I truly enjoyed was a full-stage outdoor production of “Aida”,  complete with horses, camels and elephants.   It was massively  impressive.    I have played many classical pieces on the piano,  but found Beethoven and Bach’s dissonant chords a bit difficult to deal with.   Still,  Barbara Hoffman’s  guide to  classical music to get you through self-isolation is actually helpful,  even if you’re not a big fan.

I may play the odd selection or two,  but I’m afraid I will mostly crank up my Mannheim Steamroller albums — yes, even the Christmas ones!   Happy listening to whatever you choose.    Music does help a plethora of troubles.
