I am sitting in my man cave listening to Gardiner's recording of Hail! Bright Cecila and reading Simon's notes on my iPad, what a splendid way to spend one's time. What a wonderful asset this forum is too.

I must say that the notes are excellent, it is wonderful to read them and then listen to the music, what a treat.

Yes, Simon's notes were indeed excellent!
