Jochanaan hasn't been around for 7 months now (12/20/11). Pity, he was a saner head when one was needed. And here nearly as long as I have been!

So it goes.... :-\

If all's right at his end, I'm sure he'll pop his head in as soon as a non-recording-centric musical topic crops up in these parts*. I almost always learn something of interest when he posts, be it about the music, its performance or history.



*I suppose he thinks the "Masses in Classical Austria" thread is in a capable pair of hands (or two) as it is. ;)

I'm deeply moved by all the kind words expressed when I was reported as missing.  :) But I never really thought to leave this board permanently; on the contrary, I simply thought my posts were being increasingly routine, so I believed it would be a prudent decision to make a pause. And that's what I did for near a month.

Shortly, I'm back again what recalls me that "more tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones."   :P ;D

Good! We need your informed postings on baroque music; there's not many of us baroqe lovers around.

Yeah, a shame he's gone...again. I got a PM from him that said, in part, "I find it [GMG] too addictive, it sucks up too much of my time, so I'm afraid I will be withdrawing (again)."

I'll miss him.

Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

It's true: we (barock-ers!) are unfortunately very few these days on board. Maybe we have failed in communicating the Good News of the historically informed Baroque Music.  :( ;)

It's all just stagnant back catalogue, anyway. We must be realistic.

Oh, I see you were "moderated" by Gurn, dear Q!  ;D

Thanks to you, Elgarian and Karl. All of you are nice and kind people, as it's not easy to find on the web.

And about the only French name that is cooler would be Guy Gadbois !
