No. 1 song for January 27, 2015

looking out my kitchen window around 7:30 this morning

Isn't this a lovely day? by Fred Astaire w/ Johnny Green and his orchestra

Substitute snow for rain, of course. This is the version I heard (from the Brunswick Recordings) while walking home last night through the early bits of falling snow.

Top 4 for January 6, 2014

Concerto en sol mineur, BWV 975 - I: Allegro by JS Bach, performed by Alexandre Tharaud from Concertos Italiens

JSB's transcription of concerto No. 6 from Vivaldi's La Stravaganza

Let's call the whole thing off - Fred Astaire w/ Johnny Green and his orchestra from the film Shall We Dance from the LP Starring Fred Astaire (aka the Brunswick Recordings)

A great collection of Astaire's film performances, with a fantastic arrangement (no credit on my copy unfortunately).
