That seems so interesting.  I like myself to discover new works and I am
wondering how can I if there is no recording about it.  Last year I heard
a terrific opera called Hamlet by Pascal Bentoiu (contemporaneous) and as
I see, is not recorded...  Three Rimsky Korsakov operas are not recorded
either: Pan voyevoda (only some exerpts of music), Serviglia and another
one (I don't remember now).  It's a pitty.  Is the first time I hear about
Karetnikov (I love Russians...) Could you compare his music to somebody
else's? There are some recordings about him? (other symphonies, etc).
Alojz Ajdic's 3rd for percussion (the title seems interesting).  I love
percussion...  like the marvelous Bartok Sonata for 2 pianos and
percussion...  I like Gyorgy Sigeti (very much), Rautavaara, Schnittke...
and less contemponeous music as Messian (less), Berg (very much),
Schoenberg and Webern.

Thanking you in advance.
