Yes, a growing boy needs his sleep. We old farts don't mind waiting. (grrrrrr)

Whilst we are waiting for the final results to be announced, I can reveal that no cows died in A7  (see earlier correspondence with Sarge).  All were fitted with special life-jackets for the recording before being thrown into Lake UdderSee.    Nevertheless, the conductor was arrested and charged with cruelty to animals, but his lawyer successfully argued that it was Mahler's original intention and his client was merely following the score.     The conductor also denied making mumbling and groaning sounds in the A7 recording, claiming that these noises came from one of the cows that had made its way into the recording studio seeking vengeance (or milking .... the truth was never clearly established).     He never conducted Mahler again ....

Alkan -- does this mean we'll soon be seeing a disclaimer on CDs to the effect that  "No animals were harmed during the making of this recording"?

Only on the A7 version of Mahler's 6th symphony, Saint-Saens' "le Carnaval des Animaux", .... and of course, "the flight of the bumble bee"   (no insecticides)
