by Karl NehringConcerto for Violin and Orchestra; Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra. Rachel Barton Pine, violin; Anthony McGill, clarinet; Marin Alsop, ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra. Cedille CDR 90000 220 Once again I have had the delightful experience of discovering the music of a composer heretofore unknown to me and finding it to be a most pleasant surprise.

The BBC. Arts Council England et al have undoubtedly made bad and damaging decisions. But sorry, classical music's real problem is internal, not external.
