I used to have one.  In fact, I performed several little cantatas by
Henze (don't ask me for the titles) and found them elegant in their sound,
even beautiful, but nothing grabbed me for good.  DGG in the Sixties and
Seventies made Henze their in-house composer, and I bought and heard a lot.
Again, I had the same impression, and, again, very little of it has stuck
with me.  Anything since the Seventies I should listen to?
