"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Viktoria Mullova

I listened to Viktoria Mullova's Bach Sonatas & Partitas for Violin all night long. They were a great accompaniment to the rain and restful sleep.

Part 1

Part 2


I highly recommend this.

Her Vivaldi work is the best. My fifth grade students say it rocks.

Here's one she did with Il Giardino Armonico, in my opinion, the best contemporary early music ensemble in the world.

[Music] gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.
- Plato

Tranquility.
