Still a Genius, Even After All These Years!!

It's difficult when you have a composer like Mozart to pick just a few "greatest hits" from his operas. Of course, I did my best...


What else but the Figaro finale? The beauty is beyond belief!!!
But you know... they're all like that!
Whether it's a call to revenge...
Or a singing bird...
We're all run mad by Mozart's unending genius!


Happy Listening!!!
