For no reason than to make people jealous (if they are unable to get
to Oxford) I thought I would share with the list two concerts from the

by the Studio for New Music, Moscow.

Now all I have to do is find out a little bit about the composers I have
never heard of (most of them, I'm ashamed to say) and their music!
