For give me (or not), but occassionally I can't resist insinuating a little higher culture around here, and I can't resist on this occassion, though I don't expect any appreciation.

Elliott Carter reached his 100th birthday yesterday. Vive Carter! Carter is certainly among the greatest composers of the current era. (Ever heard of him?)

I'm listening to this recording: so far only the Carter works. Wonderful, relatively recent pieces by the composer and superbly performed in my, admitted non-technical opinion. I recommend it.
