I will give a disc several hearings before giving up on it. Fortunately, the discs I have had to finally reject are quite few. I remember many years ago first listening to the Andrew Imbrie violin concerto (performed by Carol Glenn with a Colombia pickup orchestra) I had to listen to it over 40 times before I began to really like the piece and even look forward to listening to it. Now, alas, it seems to be gone - unless someone knows of it's CD transfer. I haven't been able to find it. Recently, I bought the Naxos recording of George Barati Symphony #1 That, also, has been rough listening, but after 6 tries, it's beginning to grow on me. Dave Harman El Paso, TX
