Here is an e-mail that I just received which may be of interest to some =
of our list members.

I trust that they would not mind if I forwarded on this information.

Yesterday, one of the great figures in the world of classical music =
passed away. Gian Carlo Menotti was 95.=20

Cedille Records is privileged to have in its catalog great performances =
of two of his finest works: The Medium =
(https://www.cedillerecords.org/034.html) and Missa "O Pulchritudo" =
(https://www.cedillerecords.org/7001.html). Both pieces amply =
demonstrate the dramatic and melodic gifts that made Menotti one of the =
most beloved composers of our time.=20

In commemoration of his passing, we are reducing the price of both CDs =
by 25% to $12 and $7.50, respectively, for the next week =
(http://www.cedillerecords.org/specialoffers.html). I hope this will =
give listeners a chance to discover Menotti's special talents, or at =
least these specific examples of his art.=20

Sincerely,=20
