Writing, ranting, drinking and dating. Ancient Rome. Whatever I damn well feel is good to write about.

As you know I love Vivaldi and especially his oboe concerti...

But I've just found this gorgeous piece by Tomaso Albinoni (1661 - 1751). Oboe Concerti in D Minor op 9,2 largo. It adopts the canon format (repeated cyclical sequence) of his most famous piece - Adagio in G Minor. And then, and then, the oboe comes in, lyrical and plaintive. It's rare these days that I find something so beautiful. I close my eyes, listen, and everything is fine with the world.

Love this piece.

Thought I'd share it with you. 

Move over Vivaldi. Let Tomaso take over.
