You're right, by gum!

Me too, Adams, City Noir.

I can't say I am liking it much. Jazz club sounds; traffic sounds. Might just take more than one listening, I dunno.

Was this the piece premiered at Dudamel's inaugural LA concert?  If so, I thought it distinctly underwhelming.

It is its own film  .  In the words of the composer:  "City Noir is a symphony that may also be experienced as the soundtrack to an imagined noir film." 

Thanks for the enlightenment.

That's one fine Buddha, sir.

Likewise; I've not heard a dud yet by the Oxford Camerata.

[Harry]

What wood is that, Harry?

Mahogany Karl. A  previous one I got from Thailand is from Acacia wood. 

[Karl Henning]

Very nice.

I figure if we are all buddhas then I already have two in my house.

Aha! So the composer admits my complaints are well taken!
