Mozart: The Magic Flute, Overture (recapitulation section). Headed into the full opera in a moment. MET opera, James Conlon conducting, Jan 1977. SIRIUS MET channel, streaming internet feed. The Magic Flute was the first complete opera I ever performed in (2nd violin) and it has had a special place in my affections since then, more than 30 years ago (see the thread on top 10 operas).

Alistair Hulett, who died yesterday. A love song to his wife Fatima:
Militant Red
"There's nothing more breath-takingly beautiful in this world than a communist woman in a summer frock with a red flag in one hand and a brick in the other."

Carl Maria von Weber- Clarinet Quintet in B-flat major: I. Allegro
Richard Stoltzman, clarinet with the Tokyo String Quartet
I think we can all agree that Richard Stoltzman overdoes vibrato on the clarinet.
