    Folks Part Two of the Solari Quarterlywrap up is in the members’ area now.

    • Here are the links to the Goldberg Variations mentioned in that recording, and to the final movement of the Saint-Saens Organ symphony (the “furniture mover” as I call it):

      • Hearing this is a powerful experience. I would love to hear it performed live, but instead sometimes I’ve caught it on air and have enjoyed a driveway concert in the car with volume turned way up. About his third and last symphony Saint-Saëns said: “I gave everything to it I was able to give. What I have here accomplished, I will never achieve again.”

        • It really is a wonderful piece of music. And I’ve always adored St.-Saens, one of the few Romanticist composers I genuinely like. You might like his piano concerti… they’re also gems.

    • Do you think you’ll really come to Asheville?! My boyfriend and I would love to meet you !
