Actually, the list isn't too bad, except for the overload of neo-Romanticiam and its ilk. <br /><br />I believe that when you say X shouldn't be on a list you need to to nominate something to replace it. In that sprirt, I would lose both the Kernis and the Higdon (I like thewm both fine, but they're kind of grey), and replace them with the Carter Clarinet Concerto and <i>Symphonia</i> pairing (since we're sort of talking about CDs here as much as pieces, and the Saariaho disc you refer to, with <i>Graal Theater</i>, with <i>Chateau de l'ame</i> and <i>Amers</i>.<br /><br />As for Adams, I guess attention must be paid.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12939881701345686354noreply@blogger.com
