Standouts
Here's the best from AIM's recent musical
wanderings -
 |
Italian tenor Enrico
Caruso, whose prime was roughly 1902-1920. You gotta get past the
limitations of early recordings, but, wow, what a voice - magnificent! Samples

Lunasa otherworld
- straightforward Irish reels, well-executed. If you liked the
Bothy Band, you'll like this. |

Brian Wilbur
Grundstrom (Composer
Roundtable No. 5) has composed music for a silent movie,
Fugue Series, which will be showing as part of the
FringeNYC festival in New York City in August. The music is a very effective
rendering of a day of people-watching at an art gallery. More info and a sample
clip of the music at -

A few months ago, I went to see D.C.- area
composer
Gregg Martin's new opera Life in Death
(based on an Edgar Allan Poe short
story) and enjoyed the music very much. The video replay is available at - |
