Thanks Jim . I think no country should have one . To me it's it's a way to keep the masses from ever really growing up .
The things I've seen Charles in lead me to the same conclusion as yourself .I flew on a KLM jumbo from Chicago to Amsterdam few years back .The pilot was the King of the Netherlands . That's a real job !

Listening now to Sudbin's Scarlatti on BIS. The piano sound is indeed very natural. Enjoying it and the contrasts between the short sonatas. Sometimes you can distinctly hear Bach in there, and sometimes very different composers. |

For the last weeks I listen to the Bach trio sonatas at the organ with Helmuth Walcha, by far the more spiritual interpretation of Bach, with the likes of cellist Fournier, violinist Henryk Szeryng and few others...
When I compare with Hurford, a good organist by all standard, I am way less moved... It is like the blind master summon his prolific god behind his hands.... My best...
