Aaron has picked out a great Bach cantata disc.  You can't do much better
than Bach/Herreweghe/Scholl.  I didn't notice any retiring aspects to
Scholl's singing on the disc, but since I've been thinking of retiring
myself, I probably wouldn't have noticed.  Let's all retire and get out
of this rat race.
