Christmas Eve

This opening movement of the Rachmaninov Vespers(although strictly speaking not Christmas music) seems to fit the mood for Christmas Eve, even if one is not religious. It is such a wonderful and moving piece and to hear a live performance is one of the truly great musical experiences one can have.

24th Stained glass at the Burrell Collection. I love the jewel colours, still vivid despite the glass being 500 years old.

Christmas Day! via www.youtube.com Happy Christmas to everyone; I wish you a day full of love and happiness......... and a few presents too! What better music for Christmas Day than the Hallelujah Chorus from the Messiah ;-)
