A few days behind, but still pushing ahead and catching up!

I forgot to hashtag. #A-Haydn-a-day

I wasn't familiar with this symphony, but I loved the pervading sense of motion throughout the piece. Roy and the band presented an energetic performance that added a lot to that motion as well. Overall, 9/10 powdered wigs for this one! I'll hit number 95 shortly!

I don't know... I could see Elvis in later career going back to his roots, doing more gospel, maybe country. I think unshackled Elvis might have been pretty interesting.

Bruggen and the Orchestra of the 18th Century on this, the Day of Alignment. Really enjoyable recording of a really powerful work!

Well, not the key signature itself, that's pretty innocuous. But F sharp minor is a bit of a thing.

Thank you!

Finished! I gotta admit, this one didn't grab me as hard as 60, but that finale is gold! I love the impertinent oboes!

Listened to the first three movements on the way to work! I'll finish up on the way home. Talk looking forward to the finale now!

I very much hope you find some grace and compassion, or at least a sense of shame. I'm glad I don't cover you guys anymore. This would've been a hard one to write.

This comes on the heels of not only the rise in dangerous rhetoric across the country, but also the murder of a trans woman in Athens recently. In an effort to derail the move, some commissioners questioned the process, clutched their metaphorical pearls about procedure...
