| Jazz for aficionados Alex, first of all, I like the “Improvisations on Purcell”... a lot. It’s really quite beautiful. A beautiful blend of genres. Is it Jazz? That’s a loaded question around here. Personally, it ultimately doesn’t matter and I have a pretty goo... | |

| Schumann Resonator Interesting, English is also my second language. I have absolutely no problem understanding the meaning and intention of what mahgister writes; something that I cannot say about the writings of many who post on this forum and for whom English is t... | |
