Jacques Offenbach, Overture to La Grande-Duchesse de G?rolstein

Herb Alpert : 'Spanish Flea' on Pick of the Pops on Radio 2.

Purely coincidentally, you've now helped me put the name to the tune that was running through my head a couple of days last week

Glad to be of service

This.

We have to learn to play this and about 10 other pieces for a Symphonic Salsa concert to close a cultural festival on April 1st.

I like that

Brahms String Quintet No.2 in G major

Fiun, isn't it?! But will you like it when we play it, I wonder...

Probably I like that sort of music, and it's usually fun to play

I have found this SOOOO cheering just now...

Manuel Oltra, Eco from 3 canciones de amor

I wanna be a cellist in an ELO tribute band

Now, why can I totally see that happening???

Can you? Oooooooooooooooooooooo, can you?

I most CERTAINLY can!!!

If I don a wig, me shades and a bit of face fur, I'm sure I could do a mean Jeff Lynne....

I like singing ELO at karaoke too

You know I think I can too. More chance of that than me playing oboe in a Roxy Music tribute band.

Voi che sapete

Saint-Saens Clarinet Sonata

Some of my 1980s Channel 4 test card music home made playlists. Well groovy!

Piano being tuned.

Looking forward to playing scales in tune later tonight!

Erik Satie, Six Gnossiennes, performed by Aldo Ciccolini

Beethoven's violin concerto. A copy borrowed from my teacher along with the music score. How can they play THAT?

Erik Satie, Cinq Nocturnes, performed by Aldo Ciccolini

I read in a 'beginners guide to classical music' that Satie had some really outlandish names for his pieces. I have probably his most famous piece Gymnopedie no1 in my current piano book, its a lovely piece but it looks frighteningly scary to a learner such as myself. But at least I have it on my CD shelf.

Right now, the music is off. It shouldn't be as Jazz record requests is on. She has got yet more blooming sport on the TV, This time its rugby.

Ian Bostridge... wonderful!

The amazing 'Eagle' recorder (and the player isn't bad, either...)

Grey Seal - Elton John.

CLASS!!!

No idea, I hope so because its rather good
Several of Scotland's orchestras and choirs (and their youth equivalent) doing a evening of music to honour Sporting Legends from the Olympics

It's on iPlayer in England

Heinz Holliger playing the Mozart oboe quartet.

The happy happy chugging sound of the bus engine ; )

Alan Rawsthorne, String Quartet No. 3

Choral evensong on radio 3 from Christchurch Cathedral Oxford.

Segovia - and watching him too, in The Song of the Guitar. Oh my goodness... (and the Alhambra too, just to make it perfect).
