Time well invested for sure.
Part of the tragedy of the Palestinians is that they have essentially no international support for a good reason: they've no wealth, they've no power, so they've no rights.

More Mahler from Fischer.

The first half of life is spent in longing for the second, the second half in regretting the first.

Nice! If you allow me, I recommend his Piano Concerto too. It has a quite beautiful slow movement.

Villa-Lobos: Uirapuru

Such a kaleidoscopic piece. It's nothing but evocative and magical.

Benjamin Britten
Soirées Musicales, op. 9
Matinées Musicales, op. 24
Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge, op. 10
English CO - Sir Alexander Gibson

I don't think I knew Britten wrote two Rossiniana suites. Vibrant orchestrations they are.

As to the cover art, I knew something of the bathing carriages which allowed women to not be seen in their bathing wear, also transporting them from the water to the beach to change clothes discreetly. I don't think I have actually seen them depicted, though.
