whether this conspiracy theory is true or not I prefer to stick to classical music :)

Very beautiful! Mozart music played on harpsichord, as it was meant to be played, even more beautiful, osit. Thank you for sharing, Herr Eisenheim, it was a very welcome change for me. After having some very painful personal realization 3 days ago, I was mostly listening Handel music :) and Mozart's as well. That's I was listening to for the last couple of days goes as follows:
Montserrat Caballe - Lascia Ch'io Pianga _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ8-QV000p4
Original words:
Lascia ch'io pianga mia cruda sorte,
E che sospiri la libertà!
E che sospiri,
e che sospiri la libertà!
Lascia ch'io pianga mia cruda sorte,
E che sospiri la libertà!
Il duolo infranga queste ritorte de miei martiri sol per pietà,
de miei martiri sol per pietà.
E che sospiri la libertà!
English translation:
Let me weep
Let me weep for my cruel fate
And sigh after freedom!
And let me sigh
Sigh after freedom!
Let me weep for my cruel fate
And sigh after freedom!
May sorrow, out of pity, break the ropes of my sufferings,
of my sufferings, out of pity.
And let me sigh after freedom!
Montserrat Caballe "Casta diva" Norma Orange 1974 _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIQQv39dcNE
Italian Lyrics
Casta Diva, che inargenti
queste sacre antiche piante,
a noi volgi il bel sembiante
senza nube e senza vel...
Tempra, o Diva,
tempra tu de’ cori ardenti
tempra ancora lo zelo audace,
spargi in terra quella pace
che regnar tu fai nel ciel...
English Translation
Pure Goddess, whose silver covers
These sacred ancient plants,
We turn to your lovely face
unclouded and without veil...
Temper, oh Goddess,
The hardening of you ardent spirits
Temper your bold zeal,
Scatter peace across the earth
Thou make reign in the sky...
Andreas Scholl sings "She moved through the fair" _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN5PmR3_XBQ
My love said to me
My Mother won't mind
And me Father won't slight you
For your lack of kind
Then she stepped away from me
And this she did say
It will not be long love
Till our wedding day
She stepped away from me
And she moved through the fair
And fondly I watched her
Move here and move there
And she went her way homeward
With one star awake
As the swans in the evening
Move over the lake
The people were saying
No two e'er were wed
But one has a sorrowThat never has a sorrow
That never was said
And she smiled as she passed me
With her goods and her gear
And that was the last
That I saw of my dear.
I dreamed it last night
That my true love came in
So softly she entered
Her feet made mo din
she came close beside me
And this she did say
It would not be long love
Till our wedding day.

Mozart "Mitridate," performance by Andreas Scholl _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl7cmIjyiG4
Lyrics: "Let my implacable father come then. Let him threaten and fume, my heart will not yield to his scorn and fury. Let him respect and fear Rome in me."
Still watching and listening some parts (it is long) of G.F.Handel: Giulio Cesare in Egitto, HWV 17 (unfortunately, I don't understand the words (French and Italian), but it was intersting musically speaking, osit) _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjdBPSZy8rU
