[Magdalen] For would-be Venetians and Lovers of the Baroque Everywhere

[Jay Weigel]

There is another John Eliot Gardiner version on YouTube, done in the Palace
of Versailles, but I don't like it as well, even though the sound might be
a little more "perfect". For one thing, you miss all the glory of the
cathedral, and for another, I just think this one is probably more like the
original, only better ;)
