Energy for a light heart.......2005-10-18

Baroque brunch is a nice collection of music that I find great for doing creative work to. I love doing my writing to the energetic music. I'm not a huge music collector so I can't comment on quality but this CD. It is a part of a collection: "A Treasury of Baroque Classics" and is a great addition to my very small collection.

I can think of few better stay-at-home mornings than to put "Baroque Brunch" -- and the other two CD's in the set: "Romantic Baroque" and "The Best of Baroque" -- in my 3 CD player and go puttering about, whether browsing the web looking for an obscure article; writing another chapter or column; folding laundry; or even while chatting on the phone.

I think that if you are fairly new to the classical end of music that you might enjoy this as variety and a change of pace from the more typical classical pieces you would traditionally run into.
