  • Thanks for the link. This one was less of a succes for me. But feel free to keep on giving suggestions. Either way, it’s an enrichment.
    About the Scarlatti album. It was pure luck that I picked up that one. My girlfriend is also fond of it. I played it a lot when she was pregnant, for my daughter-to-be. Sometimes even directly on her belly. But my daughter doesn’t seem to remember or recognise. Although she also appreciates the Goldberg variations. She had no choice, hearing it every morning :-)
    Another album that’s a “classic” for me and my girlfriend is Bach arias by Ophelie Gaillard. This is track 1 of the cd. Her ensemble is called Pulcinella, which was the name of Scarlatti’s cat 😺
    My girlfriend is not so fond of baroque music in general. Too busy and too repetitive. I think the third album that she does appreciate is Il pastor fido by Handel. One of his shorter operas, only 2 cd’s long. Played this one a lot when my daughter wasjust born, in the hospital room.
    Seems a lot of albums are related to important phases in my life …
