But in the Afternoon...

Just when I'd begun to think the world was one vast, vicious, incompetent humbug, I tuned into someone named Skip Sempé playing the Bach Partita No. 4 in D on the harpsichord--Genius!  So I Googled him and his Group, Capriccio Stravagante--all of them Geniuses!  And astonishingly good-looking.  Olivier Fortin (Québecois), Sempé's alter-clavéciniste, in fact has major porn star allure.   Anyway, I've heard and listened attentively to a lot of performances of this partita--including Glenn Gould's achingly beautiful but oh so unauthentic piano version--but nothing, not even Gould, comes up to the knees of this.  And now I see that Sempé has written essays about music...and they are delightful too.  Well, well....
