Also well worth listening to are a couple of recent acquisitions in my
increasingly eclectic collection.  Being at work, not at home, the disc
details escape me (e-mail me privately later if you want them) but the
contents include "Church Windows" --quite honestly superb music --
"Brazilian Impressions" and the opera in 'one act and three moments'
"Lucrezia." These discs have gone a long way to rekindling my hitherto
flagging interest in ol' Ottorino.
