    A divine expression of the deep Russian soul . . . almost supernatural.

    Could you give a few examples of online retailers where I can find this CD in download format?

    Many thanks for the wonderful selection and greetings from Germany!
  • Hi Nik, Thanks for your comment, and for listening to the podcast. I am checking where you can download this album, and will post that info as soon as I have it. Thanks for your greetings from Germany. I lived there for a few years in the 1970's and 1980's in Detmold and Koln. At that point I was either studying music, or working in a couple of different orchestras.

    Great to hear from you, Raymond! Yes, it's a small world: I used to live near the Manulife Building in Toronto in the early 90s.

    Did you work as an instrumentalist in those European orchestras? It might be a good idea to post your bio somewhere on the site . . .

    Thank you so much for the wonderful series. Your presence and energy are just as wonderful as the music!
  • Hi Nik, Thanks for your email. The orchestras I played in were mostly in what was then West Germany (I moved back to Canada a year before the Berlin wall came down). I played for a short while in a small opera orchestra in Detmold, and spent a couple of years doing free-lance work in orchestras in the Cologne area. During that time, I also did some work with the Luxembourg Radio Television Orchestra, and the Belgian National Opera.

    I like your suggestion of including a bio on the blog site. I will see if we can get something posted soon.

    Thanks again for taking the time to listen, and to write.
