    Minuet in G Major, Bach:

    Should have been on my Easter music playlist. Now it is.

    Here's a bit more of Mozart. The Papageno and Papagena duet, from The Magic Flute:

    Baritone Huw Montague Rendall and Elisabeth Boudreault are a couple in real life. And it shows here, the chemistry between them is like, perfect. She's also from the Saguenay region, like I am.

    Ha, can't imagine how their household is run! But it is fun to watch for sure (and well sung!).

    They're really cute together. I told my eight year old son they're like mummy and daddy, except in reverse: he's from the UK, she's from Québec. He said: "She's his girlfriend? I can see why." My wife said: "Hey, I'm not sure l like that lad talk!"

    Anyway, proof that opera is not stuffy.

    well, there's something she'll have to get used to... And indeed, if that inspires the young lad to listen to classical music, all must be forgiven, no?

    I hope it inspires the young lad to marry a Québec girl, but hey... he's quite into Mozart now, if only because we eat Mozart Kugeln when we listen to it.

    Because this is not merely a Mozart/opera thread (as much as I'm often tempted to turn it into one, because of my own preferences and bias), here is Smetlava's Vltava (The Moldau).

    Yeah. Funny to think it's used to open Eurovision.

    I'm not a fan of Beethoven, but here's his Moonlight Sonata:

    More 19th century stuff, heard it today on ClassicFM. I'm trying to diversify the music here by sharing things that I wouldn't go for normally:
