The Beethoven is brilliant Diane, and likewise, the conducting version.  ;D

Purcell   :-* :-*

I possibly prefer Purcell to Nerium oleander - irredeemably associated with motorways and leaves/bugs falling into swimming pools.

Luc, you don't agree that liking Neil Young and Telemann suggests a degree of catholicism in taste?  :-\  Actually, looking at our house, you might we had taste, if not catholic then certainly ecclesiastical... we collect stained glass, and many of the biggest pieces are rescued from old churches!! ::)

Mmm not sure we understand each other fully Maggi, I probably didn't express myself 100 % correctly.  :-\

What I meant was that I like The Band, Neil Young and Telemann too - so that made me realize I was just as catholic as you are...  ;D ;D

Luc, I think we are both confusing ourselves!! Quite fun, though, isn't it?
Have you heard the CD by Alison Krauss and Robert Plant? Sounds to me that you would like that too!
