    Glorious! This, too, is something orchestras should be playing when they can’t play full strength.
    Many thanks!

    Glorious music; wonderful, prolific composer. What’s not to love? There’s a great vitality in this, as in much of his work.

    Mala Punica, or: Captain Lebrecht His Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Baroque Pun.
