unreleased Two Secret Wars, and Live in NY at the Republican National
Convention Protest September 2 - August 28, 2004 in their entirety.
Finally,
Favorite Intermissions: Music Before and Between Beethoven -
Stravinsky - Holst is back! After negotiating with UMG, the corporate
parent of Deutsche Grammophon, the album returns in a limited edition with
revised cover art. The link above leads to reviews as well as an mp3 from the album, the
