I have really enjoyed MCML this year and want to thank a few people for enriching my life and recommending CD's I would never have checked out otherwise: Dave Lampson, of course! Derek Barker for the Segerstam Mahler 8th recommendation Steve Schwartz for the Granger/Rattle CD, "In a Nutshell"--the "Pastoral" is a gem. The wonderful Norgard 3rd Symphony recommendation A new-found appreciation of Schnittke and Varese due to discussions on MCML Stirling Newberry for increasing my vocabulary and reading comprehension Tom Davey for being there when reading Tony Duggan's replies to my Mahler recommendations. John Smyth
