No argument from me.  I would just add, for those who are not aware, that
the Auvidis version utilizes a variety of instruments as opposed to the
consort approach of Phantasm and the Keller Quartet.

Another list member had mentioned a new Art of the Fugue recording
on Channel Classics.  I forget the exact name of the group, but the
performances are on recorders.  Although I'm not a fan of the recorder, it
does sound interesting.  I could have bought it at Borders, but no, I don't
buy at stores anymore.  I still have a 100% success rate of not buying at
the stores; that's pretty good for a guy who sure doesn't like to wait for
good things.  I can't even share this with my wife; she thinks I stopped
doing that months ago.  Did I tell her that? I just thought I grunted when
she asked me about store buying.  You never know how a person will respond
to a grunt.
