For Your Listening Enjoyment

This weekend Symphony San Jose‘s concerts include two Bach works. There is simply nothing like Bach, in my little opinion! If you can make it to the concert I do recommend it, and no, I’m not playing. I’ll be in the audience myself!

Meanwhile, please enjoy the marvelous Scott Hostetler playing Alle Menschen müssen sterben.

From his YouTube Page:
J.S. Bach Chorale Prelude “Alle Menschen müssen sterben” BWV 643

One of my favorite organ pieces, played here by a double reed quartet (oboe d’amore, English horn, bass oboe, and bassoon). Surely one of the most beautiful pieces about death ever written.

Back in 2017 I posted this video of these sweet young girls playing Albinoni. Yesterday I was greeting by another video by them when I logged into YouTube. I’m happy to see they are still playing!
