    I used to tell my violinist friends that a previously undiscovered violin concerto by Rachmaninoff had been unearthed by Russian scholars.

    Thanks: “wordless soprano soloist singing in her native French” is a very nice touch.

  • Andrey says:

    Dear Mr. Lebrecht, thank you for the wonderful promotion!
    (And for free! )
    So guys, if you wanna listen the concert of Vienna Philharmonics, but do not plan to fly over to Austria- come to Naples, Fl!
