I said it to you before Jared, I am looking forward to reading your reaction to Martinu. I will be curious to read how you get on.Jared wrote: Martinu will shortly be up for me... having purchased the Thomson set on Chandos, recently.

Re: What are you listening to?
I don't think it's Adams' best work by any means (for that accolade I would nominate Naive and Sentimental Music). I do like it though; it's perhaps a bit more 'formless' than I am comfortable with but it gradually culminates into a thoroughly absorbing rhyhthmic pulse (common in this composers work) that makes it a piece that I will come back to again...fergus wrote:I would be interested in your comments on that one Darren.bombasticDarren wrote:Adams - El Dorado (Kent Nagano, The Halle Orchestra, Nonesuch)
