>I just heard Thomas (H)Ades' latest work *Asyla* (or is it Asylum?) and
>hope that that CD doesn't come my way by accident.
I feel the same way.
>They say (who says?)
The recording industry, who picked him out as a marketable young media star
a few years ago. They were wrong about that.
>that he's the greatest British composer since Britten.
And about that. At the risk of boring people, I might just mention the
name of James MacMillan here.
>Does anyone know how they can tell?
They just thought they could sell him.
>I'd really like to know in case I'm missing something
If you are, so am I.
>(or must I try much harder?).
Up to you, but I'm not going to. An empty shell, IMHO.
