Received this brief comment via email last night from a rather well known record reviewer/music writer:
Just listening to the secure toned and clean sounding Symph Brevis - wonderful to hear this work - as if for the first time - impressive in the more intimate moments as in 4:58 as well as in the grand and gaunt moments 7:19 - deeply impressive.

I agree. Curt Timmons has done an excellent job.

"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

Dundonnell strikes me as being a slightly silly name. I bet he's a very silly boy indeed. :D

Not especially silly:

The only 'silly' aspect of a name like Leicestershire for us, foreigners, is the fact that you need four extended syllables for the spelling of a simple (in pronunciation) three-syllable name. "Lestəshə" would have done. ::)

Dundonnell is the username I have given myself. It is the name of a small village in Wester Ross in the north-west of Scotland. The village lies at the foot of a great mountain called An Teallach and at the northern edge of the Dundonnell Forest, a large wilderness area(one of the largest in Britain) across which I hiked for three days some years ago. The Dundonnell Estate belongs to Sir Tim Rice these days ;D

It is not, therefore, for me a 'silly name' ;D Nor am I either 'silly' or, sadly, any longer a 'boy' :(
