About every five years, I wonder if I should give Guillaume Tell a shot (so to speak) . . . and then, oh! bright light!

Well, the Overture was performed as an encore at the Haydn/Bernstein/Mahler concert I attended at the Proms last night. I enjoyed it.

... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948
