Just wanted to thank you for Choral Fixation--I listen to it here in Germany, and as an American expat, it's lovely to hear such a variety of works. The Anonymous 4 piece and the Finnish piece were especially enjoyable--over here in Germany, as you can imagine, the German composers predominate. Bach, Bach, Bach--not that I don't enjoy Bach, but... I adore Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream, but I surely don't want it morning, noon and night! Variety is the key, and delight, interest and stimulation can be found in so many works (of music and, of course, ice cream) (smile)
All the best in your further programming,
QXR! dk
