Thank you.
"A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people ... then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbour — such is my idea of happiness"

To be released on 7 November:

The current annihilation of a people on this planet (you know which one it is) is the most documented and at the same time the most preposterously denied.

Well spotted!

I didn't like this performance of Sea Sketches much.  The Andrews recording downthread makes much more sense of the music, and I also preferred that one to the Lyrita recording.

The best Sea Sketches recording IMHO is the old Manitoba Chamber Orchestra one.

I just listened to the Ostrobothnian and Manitoba Sea Sketches back to back. It sounds to me like the Scandinavians exaggerate some of the music's colors more, offering stiffer winds and bigger waves on the breakers. Possibly the recording levels affected this?

I had never heard the music before and really enjoyed it in both performances so I will try Andrews too!
