Bruce,

It is a great box, but I must admit that my enthusiasm for Messiaen has waned somewhat. I already have the pieces I really like on other discs, so keeping the box around seemed superfluous.

Thanks.  I think I've seen it at Academy, so if I decide to add it to the (groaning) pile, I can probably find it there.  FWIW, I love Messiaen, but can't listen to too much of him at once.  Too intense!

Maybe you can send me something equally enticing, like the complete symphonies of Vaughan-Williams.

And don't forget the coal.

I'm sure the box in itself is an excellent box. It's what's on the CDs within the box that I object to.

And mine has never waxed.
