It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: As you might guess from some of my previous posts. . .

Alan's right. Digging into Shostakovich (and the history and struggle that define him) takes some effort. And conductors who can handle him (heard a marvelous performance of his Eighth by Calvin Simmons at Zellerbach [now you have a hint about where I worked :-)] and his Tenth by George Cleve in San Jose). No ambivalence here at all about him. He's on my frequently-played list.

Britten and Hindemith also get a fair number of spins in this household. So I guess it's safe to say that for those three composers we've never had to call in Orkin to deal with a marmite infestation.
