The other day, I heard on the radio, a piece which intrigued me.  It
appeared to be the symphony "The misterious "Mountain" by Hovhaness, I
bought the CD, and now I wonder if the other Symphonies by this composer
are as beautiful as this one.  Who can tell me?

I have one more question:  In the reviews on The classical net, website,
I often encounter the misprint &dash, who can tell me what ought to stand
there, I still can't figure it out.

[Let me address this last question as a few others have had similar
 difficulties.  Those aren't misprints.  You local web browser is not
 properly set up, or you don't have a proper set of web fonts installed,
 so the HTML is not being rendered correly by your browser.  The HTML
 tag "–" I believe you are refering to is, pretty obviously, the
 symbol for a dash.  Check with a local guru on your software for help.
 I always suggest upgrading to the latest version of your browser as
 the best first step.  -Dave]
