Roman: Drottningholmsmusiken (Drottningholm Baroque Ensemble / Nils-Erik Sparf)

2011年發生了不少事。動了幾個手術,回台灣和幾位網友正式見了面,去了巴黎,不過最重要的,是正式(法律上)告別單身生活。當時事情太多忙不過來,未能記載,或許改天能一一補上。新的一年,先用Johan Helmich Roman (1694 – 1758)的這張專輯上的音樂來代表這一年經歷對我最有意義的事情了。

巨星殞落:RIP Leonhardt (1928 – 2012)

Master harpsichordist Gustav Leonhardt has passed away 1/16/2012.  Arguably the most influential harpsichordist in the 20th century, maestro Leonhardt was a proponent of the period performances of early music. 80% of today's harpsichordists have either studied with him or studied with his students. I have also been fortunate to be in this line of music lineage. It is sad that the world has lost someone as great as he. An article in New York Times about him can be found here.

Xmas and New Year's (2011-2012)

Was at my wife's place for most of the winter break, but for the holidays we decided to make a road trip down to Florida.
