Pachelbel Done Right



It's almost Christmas again. <groan>. And I used to love Christmas so.

This piece has been over-done and over-played to the point of losing its considerable charm. Especially because of that God-awful, horribly over-sentimental, bastardized version by the trans-Siberian whatever, which is, IMAO, the worst thing to happen to classical music since Hooked on Classics.

Here's what it should sound like. Enjoy before you get sick of it again.

Normally I would criticize this performance as being technically very good but lacking in feeling. But in the case of this usually overwrought piece, I find it rather refreshing.
