Amongst the obsequies for the late Olympia Co., someone wrote:
>That's a shame given all the exceptional and obscure music Olympia has
>put out over the years. No more Miaskovsky, Popov, etc. I could cry,
I don't know. I keep listening to one exceptional and obscure thing
after another by Miaskovsky, hoping to find SOMETHING half as good
as the symphony #21, and never finding it. Has anybody else had this
experience? [Well, all right, the cello concerto is maybe one third as
good.] Perhaps Miaskovsky is one of those composers (like Hovhaness)
whose discography might just as well be short.
