Maury: poulenc + strauss/2=martin?
Maury: i think i mean mahler, not strauss
DSJ: maybe more Berg?
Maury: right on.
DSJ: he sprinkles his elegant neoclassicism with tone-rows.
Maury: it feels more immediately listener-friendly than berg
DSJ: yeah definitely
Maury: sorry, i actually really hate the game of "one hears echoes of puccini in the score." i am always turned off by reviews that do that.
DSJ: Well, you know, he's Swiss, so half French and half Austrian is about right
Maury: genau
Maury: great, i put "vin" and "herbe" in the search window and carla fucking bruni comes up
DSJ: Carla fucking Bruni fucking Sarkozy!
Maury: or vice versa
Maury: argh, it turns out i like her cover of "you belong to me." I am not sure how I feel about this.
DSJ: I wonder if... was it Nathan Gunn's??? Tom Waits cover is on YouTube
DSJ: lol HORRIBLE
Maury: what is this from?!
DSJ: his CROSSOVER ALBUM.
Maury: oh right
Maury: pass

Maury: “Please don't ask questions to which the answers can be found on this site.”
Maury: [redacted]: not on the site.
DSJ: SERIOUSLY
Maury: oh nevermind, it's under "concise biography"
DSJ: how can I not send obscene mail to Mme Martin
Maury: oh nevermind again, that says 12 tone

It the Wellsungs with masters degrees!
Ah... good exchange. Though Mr Martin is as plural as his nationality. The Mass for Double Choir is sublime (especially in the Gramophone award winning Westminster Cathedral recording).
Hello,
I’m happy to announce you the launch of Classissima (in January), a collaborative website dedicated to classical music and opera (in English, French, Spanish, Italian and, coming soon, in German). Its point of view ? Internet must serve diversity of classical music and opera (we are not an classical music actor … but a french management consultant company !).
Take a moment to visit Classissima. You will discover that Classissima’s vocation is to integrate contents, for classic music lovers, giving them access to many resources (news, forums, blogs, websites, videos,…).
We have chosen your blog for its quality and regular activity. It is presented in the news section (blogs part) : http://www.classissima.com/eng/news/look/03Blogs/
I hope that you’ll like Classissima. If you think Classissima is a good initiative, feel free to add a simple link from your blog to Classissima. It could help us to gain in visibility … on the huge anglo-saxon web ;-).
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Laurent Houmeau
NB : do not hesitate to give me your feedback on Classissima.
