I'll kick off this Mozart Monday with his Horn Concerto No 4 in E flat major. It's been a favorite of mine since childhood.

Now that we are sufficiently warmed up, let's dive into the deep end and listen to the greatest symphony ever composed, Symphony nº 41 "Jupiter".
If you want an explanation for what is so great about it, here's a video analyzing the counterpoint. Musicologist Richard Atkinson explains all the themes, strettos, inversions and variations found in the movement.

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Today will be dedicated to Mike Oldfield. We start off with one of his lesser-known works, Platinum. I will go with a pretty good live version this time. The Album is so perfect you might be fooled into believing it's not actual people playing real instruments. The live session is more livid with its tiny imperfections.
