i've been swept up in rehearsals and various things, to the point that i haven't given much thought about the next, oh, 6 months or so. most recently the plan has seemed to be to attend acanthes in austria for two months (music of ivan fedele, bruno mantovani, and hugues dufourt, instructed by the inimitable mario caroli), travel to paris and nice for 2 weeks, hit istanbul for a few days, then back to north america for the domaine forget new music workshop in late august (martin matalon [ircam] will be there). it would be lovely, if i weren't already so broke....
but i digress.

i have recently discovered the wonders of, in no particular order: savall and the concert des nations triumphant opening to monteverdi's "orfeo" on youtube; the resplendent voice of jessye norman in strauss's last songs; and the aphrodisiac that is sephardic songs.
