Musical favourites again

It was another slow weekend, as we're not quite over the virus that hit us last weekend. We took lots of time to listen to my vinyl collection, including the following pieces by Maurice Ravel: the lively and jazzy Piano Concerto in G Major, Rapsodie Espagnole, Alborada del Gracioso (both Spanish-influenced pieces), and Cinq Mélodies populaires grecques (which are very nice but not very Greek-sounding to my ears) ; works by Sergei Prokofiev, including the dramatic and stirring Symphony No. 5 (written at the end of the Second World War, whose horrific human cost the Soviet Union had borne so heavily), and the much lighter Classical Symphony, Lieutenant Kijé Suite, and Love for the Three Oranges; Leoš Janácek's rousing Symfonietta (on a record I purchased in Prague in 1976); and Heitor Villa-Lobos' Twelve Études for Guitar. Theresa seems to have developed a taste for Ralph Vaughan Williams' music and kept requesting to hear it. She also likes guitar music.
