    A man said to the universe:
    "Sir, I exist!"
    "However," replied the universe,
    "The fact has not created in me
    A sense of obligation."

    Rather than post them here, let me simply provide a link to 4 versions of one of my favorite pieces, Barber's Adagio for Strings.

    I used to have a VHS (remember those?) tape of a Vanessa-Mae concert. It was one of my favorite music videos. Easy on the ears and eyes.

    CDs and DVDs now available and still worth it….

    I must also agree Jack…very pleasing to the senses.

    It’s interesting how many Asian musical prodigies and phenoms there are…. while at the same time it speaks volumes for the style of encouragement and nurturing they receive in this field....and others for that matter.
