Even through the glare, I see that. Thanks, Sarge!

It was the harpsichord that put me off listening to it for so long ;D

But seriously, I really enjoyed it.

Sarge
the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

Karl has me in a clarinet mood; MAD has me in a Bernstein mood, so: the brilliant Prelude, Fugue and Riffs with Benny Goodman on clarinet

Recently arrived.  This cycle - now in its second volume - is truly stunning.  Prokofiev SQ #2 also features on disc two - coming up.

Karl Henning, Lunar Glare Op.98

:)

Lunar Glare is quite beautiful, I have to admit that Karl composed a very brilliant piece.

It's stunning, really. I don't even mind the harpsichord here  ;)

It's time for Kitchen Police, and nothing goes better in the kitchen than Haydn  ;D  I'll be listening to "The Cat" and the "Military" Kuijken conducting La Petite Band.

I am greatly pleased when there is excellent new sacred music written.

...and you are one of those composers.

As I say to a friend here in China who asked me why I was listening to it: "You don't have to be Christian to love this music."
Do what I must do, and let what must happen happen.
