Aspies For Freedom

Sousa marches performed by the band of the Grenadier Guards
(on CD, but very similar to an LP I used to listen to when I was little)

Hortus Musicus (dir. Andres Mustonen), Himmel Earth Heaven Erde, Mediaeval / Renaissance music from 1200 to 1600

Anatol Lyadov (1855-1914), Baba Yaga

That sounds like the interval act in last year's Eurovision Song Contest, Apocalyptica (I had to look them up ). I recently saw a CD review of Folk Dance Ensemble Vila performing Serbian music. Maybe I could put it on my birthday present ideas list to get me into the spirit for this year's contest in Belgrade.

Meanwhile I'm listening to the 'Infernal Dance' from Stravinsky's Firebird.

This year it's on Saturday 24 May.
