Part of Quicksilver's morning routine is to listen to a short piece of music at the very beginning. It is usually an instrumental piece and I try to have something "iconic" lined up.
This is the piece we listened to this morning. It was twice as long as a typical selection.
I think the acoustics and ambience of where they were playing captured the essence of Albinoni's Adagio in G minor.
One characteristic of this recording is that the musician plucking his cello is barely captured in the recording (you can see him at the 0:25-0:34 mark). His play is more of a subconscious heartbeat that runs in the background rather than an in-your-face part of the recording.
Just remember, if it isn't baroque then it cannot be fixed.
Believe it or not, I recognize this very beautiful piece of music. It was on the soundtrack of the 1970’s movie ‘Rollerball’. A true classic. It also included Bach’s incomparable ‘Toccata in D Minor’.
