Thanks for the extensive information Bert. I always find it incredible (but more so typical of Dutch musical life) that Martin lived in my country virtually unnoticed for decades. One sentence in your post confuses me. >There are many good versions of the concerto you mention; I'm partial >to the one with Richard Kapp conducting the Philharmonia Virtuosi (Essay >Recordings CD 1014), where the sound is crisp and the harpsichord's >not left to tinkle away in the background. are you sure we are talking about the same piece? I did not see any harpsichord last sunday. Is there perhaps more than one version? In any case, while I was in the hall, I set my computer to "tape" the concert, so now I have the Martin in an excellent recording. It still sounds marvelous. regards, Jos
