Lava heart of dances

I don't know why, but posting this first Bach Cello suite today seemed like the perfect thing to do. Suites were born in early baroque period as sequences of dances played in courts. Then, they slowly moved to an independent purely musical form. I am sure, however, you can still feel the vibes of its lava heart of dances.

House Music

This trio is one of Mendelssohn's most renown Chamber Music pieces. Last night we participated in a wonderful House Music party, and this was one of the few scores we had. It is not so easy to read at first-sight, so, despite the musicians doing a great job, I feel we now have the duty to get to know it PROPERLY :-) I chose this version because these three fathers of Classical Music recorded in such an informal way that it fits perfectly!

Second Movement
Third Movement
Finale (sorry, I had to borrow it from other performers cuz of lack of material on the web :-S)
