Something for the weekend. Canon in D Major by Johann Pachelbel. This is the 1968 performance conducted by Jean-François Paillard that single-handedly rescued this grand piece of music from the obscurity of centuries.

This was THE piece of music that spurred an interest in me to search out more of what is generally called “classical” music when I was a young lad and thoroughly immersed in Hendrix, Cream, Ten Years After et al. I finally settled on Baroque.
One of the pieces we had played at our wedding.
