Handel Heals the Vandals
Very calming music. A good antidote to road rage?
Handel's "Qui l'augel di pianta in pianta" , from Aci, Galatea, e Polifimo
"Here the bird from tree to tree
flies happily, singing sweetly,
to charm a heart that languishes.
But he finds matter for lamentation
only because I, afflicted and alone,
O Gods! cannot find peace".
Translated by Roger L. Lustig
Singer: Nathalie Stutzmann, contralto.
Curiosity: the earliest recording of Handel's music
