Jardin de Al-Andalus, a very fetching compilation of Arab Andalusian music on Eduardio Paniagua's Pneuma label, is merrily burbling away on our newly restored B & O CD player. We've been without such sweet sounds in Maison KL since the early part of the year, when the aforementioned player decided not to bother anymore, for reasons of its own. (Possibly related to age: it was purchased back in 2004 and I don't think even B & O players are necessarily built to last in our disposable age.)
The first thing I played on it, after returning it to its rightful place, was a CD of 4 Tone Poems by Arnold Bax. They sounded as good as ever, confirmation that, when all is said and done, music is best (with food a close second.)
