What are you listening to?

I've been listening to Brian Culbertson (and similar music, lol) on Amazon Prime.
I call it new age jazz, but not sure what it is called officially but the tunes are great.
 
For a peaceful and quiet day i want suggest a Vivaldi's work. The Four Seasons, of course. 😊 There are tons of versions or recordings of this work.
The one I propose is performed by I Musici with the great Pina Carmirelli on her Stradivarius. According to music critics, a true masterpiece.;)
Enjoy the album and......have a nice day everyone.😇

"Operette" could may be translated "little opera" or "light opera".
A very Austrian/German variety of music theatre. But light does here not mean easy to perform. Many well regard Opera singers knew that and did it.
All about melody, sentiments, love, tears and joy. Very often quite ridiculous and outlandish librettos. But look at "Il Trovatore" for example. 😉
Daniela Damrau since years is my favorite living soprano. I own every recording and we are thankful having seen and heard her in Opera and Concert quite regular.

@Achim1811 In Italy too Operetta is a very popular genre;)
 
Stumbled upon my first 24/192 album on Amazon UHD! Listening this right now with my daughter.
What a brilliant pianist.

Discovered yesterday in the new releases of Qobuz. A young, at least from the album cover, jazz player I didn't know. I've listened to it and it sounds promising. ;)

Quite sure this will be no popular recommendation, but from time to time I feel my oats.
You AND your HiFi system have to be prepared for extreme complex music! And organ and trumpets. (Although the Mass is a capella, a fact which makes it not easier for the stereo.)
Nothing for on the fly or as sound carpet while doing other things.
I think the booklet is mandatory, for background info as well as for the lyrics.
Time and willingness to hear something new and challenging is also needed. Expect obstacles 😉.
