Meeting his boss's insatiable desire for new content 'forced' [his word] Joseph Haydn to write original, inventive music that sounds as fresh and full of life today as when it was written. And he wrote so much great music that I only heard this piano trio for the first time this week - and it's wonderful stuff.
Listening time 19 mins (podcast 6', music 13')
The music is here, played by the incomparable Beaux Arts Trio on Youtube and Spotify. If you're listening on Apple or Amazon you need a link for each movement/ track:
Amazon mvt 1 / Amazon mvt 2
Apple mvt 1/ Apple mvt 2
You can buy a recording of the piece as a high-quality download for a couple of quid here at Presto Music. Be sure to get the right one - the full title of the piece is: Haydn: Piano Trio No. 19 in F, Hob.XV:6

110 years ago in Paris, Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring caused a furore and changed music forever. Did the police have to be called? It's still a piece that shocks and stuns and is filled with something amazing every second.
Listening time c45 mins (podcast, 12', Music 33')
Music here on Spotify, Amazon and Apple Music played by the Junge Deutsche Philharmonie with conductor, Peter Eötvös. You can buy the recording or stream it too at Presto Music
There are plenty of video performances on Youtube. I like this one, played by the Orchestre philharmonique de Radio France with Mikko Franck. The TV director really captures the personalities in the orchestra and gets in nice and close.

Another great, short piece, here's the first of Joan Tower's Fanfares celebrating risk-taking and adventurous women. This is both celebratory and substantial, plus a workout for brass and percussion.
