The Sarabande ,especially ,is lovely and so melodic.

Dear Mr. Rodders, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for finding, making available and promoting so many wonderful works "off the beaten path". As a former Program Director at a Midwestern classical music radio, I tried and failed to interest the public in unfamiliar but palatable Romantic Era music. You have accomplished more in the short time your KZbin channel has been active on a global scale than I was able to accomplish in a major city over a period of 21 years. Also, praise be to Klaus Heymann, CEO of Marco Polo and Naxos Records for his devotion to the kind of music you and I have been promoting. I hope you have much good luck and continued success.

Much appreciated, Guy. Yes, the profile photo is of Tchaikovsky - I have received too many KZbin copyright strikes over the years to risk using my own photo :)

Castelnuovo-Tedesco wrote many works based on Shakespeare including eleven Overtures and these elegant Dances. Highly listenable music with no shortage of imaginative orchestration, "Love's Labour's Lost" is among my favourite of his Bard-inspired compositions.

By the way, is the photograph next to your name of you or of the young Tchaikovsky?
