Bach, Vivaldi—next should be Handel, right? So recently the space on my MP3 player has gradually been taken over by Handel.
I had posted Handel’s “Arrival of the Queen of Sheba” once before, but back then I wasn’t yet listening to Handel in any focused way.
Recently what I’ve mainly been listening to are Handel’s chamber music collection and his organ concerto collection. After so long, the organ continues to be astonishing. And I’ve found that Handel’s organ concertos seem to sound even more appealing to me than Bach’s—oh my God~ As for organ concertos, they sound richer than solo organ pieces; otherwise that music is too otherworldly. A little concerto treatment, letting it pick up some worldly atmosphere, is actually quite nice.
I searched online for a link to organ concertos but couldn’t find a single one, and I’d already wasted so much effort that I really didn’t want to search in vain, so I simply posted this harp concerto. In fact, it’s just the organ in an organ concerto replaced by the harp, but the feeling is truly very different. The organ is like an angel descending from heaven, whereas the harp is like a sprite leaping out of the forest. Of course, I also like the harp, so I’ll make do and post it here. But lately I’m still mainly immersed in the organ..

I prefer listening to this harp concerto. It feels as if sunlight is falling on a green forest, and I am leaping about in the dappled shadows of the trees…

I’m moving toward legit music ownership, so now my MP3 only has two albums + 1 piece of music… Legit recordings are so expensive…
