Speaking of the healing power of music, I just found an wonderful site at http://artists2.iuma.com/preview/requiems which features 10 works, mostly elegies and requiems, or works like that in various instrumental and vocal genres. The performances are uncredited, but I suspect they are all historic. In any case each performance is absolutely fantastic! There's everything there from Lili Boulanger's Pie Jesu to a moving performance of "O Danny Boy", obviously sung by some great opera singer of yesteryear. And then there is a riveting, super poignant performance of the slow movement of the Brahms Violin Concerto, as well as selections from Schumann's Dichterliebei in one of the most incredible performances I have ever heard, and it defineitley is not Dieskau! Whoever it is -and he has a kind of light baritone -is out of this world, and so is his pianist. There is also plenty of Mahler. It seems to have been put up temporarily in memoriam to the victims of the tragedy of September 11. There is also another address listed that says the site may soon move to http://requiems.iuma.com Doug Fields.
