Not new, just favorite
For today, the great and adored Yo-Yo Ma, playing the first movement of my favorite classical piece:

No accounting for taste. I would put this (for me) perhaps Nr 20 after lots of stuff by JB Bach or Beethoven. But I do like the sound of the cello and this is a master. I recently acquired a set of all the piano trios of Beethoven--usually piano, cello, violin (in this set the cello was Jacqueline du Pre. She was taken away from music way too young,) From the liner notes I was surprised to learn that many of these trios were originally scored for Clarinet, not violin.
Dvorak has some (for me, again) soothing stuff that makes my life better under current conditions.

“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”

Ok Gob I appreciate your artistry in photography but gonna jump ship over that noise. Yo mama has nothing on YoYo Ma.
Re: Not new, just favorite
I had my suspicions about what that was I'm sorry that I didn't post a warning.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

It was a mercy killing (I have no doubt)This track was not found. Maybe it has been removed
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

I'm sure Gob put his heart into that music. You people are cruel.

I bailed after 30 seconds. It sounded like a distress signal.

“In a world whose absurdity appears to be so impenetrable, we simply must reach a greater degree of understanding among us, a greater sincerity.”

I see a commercial opportunity here...
Market it as a car and home break-in alarm sound; guaranteed to send any would-be thieves running screaming into the night...

Thanks for destroying my nice little music thread, Gob.
