Name that tune

I found a compilation mix on cassette (anyone remember those) that I used at our wedding 20 years ago. On it there is a piece of classical (baroque) music that I can’t for the life of me remember what the piece is or who the composer is. Can anyone help?

 Update 19 Dec 2013: Thanks to a tip-off from Paul Lin, I now know that this piece is Antonio Vivaldi’s Concerto for 2 Mandolins, Strings and Continuo in G, RV 532. I even managed to find the exact recording in iTunes to purchase.

Leeches

Last week the music of the Beatles became available on iTunes. Yay! But while citizens of the U.S. pay $12.99 USD for a single album, we poor Aussie mugs have to pay $20.99 AUD for a single album, despite the fact that the US and Aussie dollars are pretty much at parity!

Once again, the music industry demonstrates its uncanny resemblance to a bloated, parasitic, blood sucking leech.
