An eye operation has
seen me confined to listening to music for a few days, rather than
reading books or working at a computer. The time has passed swiftly
with Bach (Mass in B minor), Haydn (string quartets) and Mozart
(string quartets). Those who fly frequently in Europe will recognise
that one can fly from the region of Eisenach / Leipzig to Vienna / Esterhazy,
all within around 30 minutes. Pretty miraculous that so much great
music came from so small an area of Planet Earth. My Bach was via
Otto Klemperer (of course). Haydn courtesy of the Takacs Quartet;
Mozart courtesy of the Quartetto Italiano. Music can be very
soothing.
