Mutterings, Music & Men!

The Indianapolis Colts did not do the Dallas Cowboys any favors on Monday Night Football, blowing a 14 point fourth quarter lead at home.  Two critical turnovers led to the Eagles final 10 points, the final 3 coming on a chip shot field goal as time expired.  Final Scoire 30-27 Eagles.  Ah well, guess the Cowboys will just have to take care of the Eagles themselves when the time comes.  Let's just hope they can (keep all your fingers crossed!).  All in all though I had a pretty good if busy day off.  There was not much in my news feeds that rattled my cage enough to rant or rave about today so I guess I will just move on to the Music and the Men for the edification of us all.  

Your Tuesday Musical Moment features the Music of Francesco Antonio Rosetti, a contemporary of Haydn and Mozart.  Rosetti wrote a great deal of instrumental music, including many symphonies and concertos. Rosetti also composed a significant number of vocal and choral works, particularly in the last few years of his life. Among these are German oratorios including Der sterbende Jesu and Jesus in Gethsemane (1790) and a German Hallelujah.^[3] He is perhaps best known today for his horn concertos, which Mozart scholar H. C. Robbins Landon suggests (in The Mozart Companion) may have been a model for Mozart's four horn concerti. Rosetti is also known for writing the Requiem (1776) which was played at a memorial for Mozart in December 1791.  Today's play list includes the Sinfonia in D Major; two Concerti for Piano and Orchestra in G major and the Sinfonia in C Major.  Nerine Barrett is your Piano Soloist accompanied by the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra undert the baton of Johannes Moesus.  You may also hear the Slovak Chamber Orchestra's 1990 performance of Rosetti's Oboe Concerto in F Major conducted by Bohdan Warchal featuring Lajos Lencses as the Oboe Soloist over on my tumblr.  

Then all set to lead you down the garden path of desire is this collection of tanned and toned temptors on display below the play list.  This edition of Tuesday's Temptation will definitely rock your socks, and if you need further temptation, click on over to my tumblr for the Cum to Papi Hottie of the Day!.  Thanks for the visit, see you again tomorrow for Wet Wednesday!  Until next time as always, Enjoy!
