Can't be much help with your questions, Don, but just wanted to pipe in that we read his piano trio a couple of weeks ago and it is tremendous fun. Frothy and loaded with humour indeed, but within that, extremely well-written and crafted, challenging for the performers but well-suited to the instruments, in short wonderful music. I have heard some of that ASV disc, I think (it's the Berlin Phil Wind Quintet, no?) and enjoyed it very much. We hope to program that piece for this summer. Meanwhile, we are now learning an amazing piece, the trio by Rebecca Clarke. Many might be familiar with her viola sonata, her best-known work, but the piano trio is an incredible work, original, beautiful, with an vast range of colors and emotions. To judge by this piece she is truly a gifted composer, and I'm curious about other works of hers. Dave Runnion http://mp3.com/serafinotrio
