Richard Pennycuick: >By the way, anyone for Holmboe's symphonies? (smirk) I've got the complete BIS cycle. Fabulous composer. A virtuoso contrapuntalist who never rubs your nose in it. In other words, the counterpoint contributes to the emotional context, rather than exiting as a kind of "can you top this?" I've reviewed some Holmboe on the http://www.classical.net/ site, including a collection of his prose. Steve Schwartz
