hello,

I just wanted to tell the List, that I heard the La Clemanza di Tito live
from the Met!! I live in The Netherlands (Europe), just a tiny country (15
million people living here) but our national classic broadcasting company
gave us that perfomance from the big apple live. I heard it in my car (I
have a very neat HiFi equipment in my car!!). I was very touched by the
sound and intonation of the basset horn! (I think he had a mike in front of
him...).
What is the world changing by eloctronica: e-mail, InterNet and while you
Americans are talking about the forthcoming met erformance of Tito, I heard
it live also, miles and miles away...
OK, that was all (I think it was for you guys a matinie, for us it was in
the early evening...)

I have to study
(Mozarts clarinetconcerto)

(I have ordered, a few weeks ago, the Rosewood Leblancs, but the A-clarinet
isn't finished yet, they think it will be available in februari...)
