Sunday Drive: Handel, Largo from Xerxes

An instrumental version of the famous aria "Ombra mai fu," written in 1738.




FYI: This is the first piece of music ever broadcast on radio - in 1906.

Hi Russ, we see to have a similar taste in music, too. Haendel happens to be my favourite composer (along with Purcell).

Beautiful!

You guys both have good taste, just right for a Sunday, watching the sunset.

Glad you like, guys. Perhaps we should start our own International Music Society? Grin.
