Fans of Haruki Murakami may remember this is the trio that Mr Hoshino listened to in the coffeeshop in Kafka on the Shore.

I started out meaning to just listen to the scherzo movement, but got drawn in.  Beethoven never disappoints.  He always seems to communicate that whatever happens in life, whatever tempest of emotions you weather, one can find happiness and joys in life. 

Murakami is a huge music buff, with his own vinyl collection over 10K albums atm, and I'm rarely disappointed when I seek out classical pieces mentioned in his books.

When musicians, and the conductor, really earn that paycheck....

The Bartered Bride, overture.  Going hot and hard with the sixteenth notes, and not one dropped on the floor!

Just in case that wasn't kinetic enough for you, here is Dance of the Comedians, also from the Bartered Bride...

Syd, over at Third Eye film, alerted me to the passing of the great singer, Irene Cara.  Much too young at 63.  Not Amy Winehouse or Janis Joplin too young, of course, but still premature.

And now Christine McVie.  A great contralto.

Her passing is more than just rumours...

Of whom was Muhammad Ali speaking when he said, If _____ had been Frank Sinatra, the Beatles or Ricky Nelson, the FBI would be investigating.

Bummed to learn that Dino Danelli of The (Young) Rascals has passed. 
https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/dino-danelli-drummer-the-rascals-dead-1234648652/ 

Sam Cooke?   The FBI has files on Tupac Shakur so assuming it was investigated to at least some degree.

Cooke is Correct.  A rather peculiar investigation by local law enforcement, sounds like.  AFAIK, no fed followup.

Ashlenazy's is one of the best interpretations of the Pathetique sonata.  As one who has tried to play the first movement, I am like many others moved to ask how he can keep tempo on the allegro part - my fingers won't do that without falling off.

My how the rock icons are falling!  RIP David Crosby.  Only just learned that his father was the cinematographer of High Noon.

I'll say a little prayer for you, Burt Bacharach.  Master of the melodic earworm.

Listened to a sort of a Russian battle of Capriccios.  First Tchaikovsky's Capriccio Italien, then Rimsky-Korsakov's Capriccio Espanol.  I'm calling it a draw.  The Tchaikovsky is maybe a little warmer, more romantic, but the RK is haunting and might make you ache for someplace you've never been.  What the Germans call fernweh.

Something about Spring...calls for some waltzes.  Here is Voices of Spring (Fruhlingsstimmen) by J Strauss II:

https://youtu.be/iYw3tF5plR0

If asked to name a favorite Strauss, this might be one, though Tales from Vienna Woods, The Emperor Waltz, and a couple others all try to muscle in on that position.
