[Malito]

I agree with all of these comments and have wondered for many years why more recordings of little known music are not available.  I, too, was in Riga (three years ago) and was pleased to talk to people at the Conservatory who gave me some CDs (CDRs) of music I had not had before.  On this site I have been able to copy some incredible music and I am thrilled to be able to hear things I never dreamed I would.  Yes, music and culture are on the decline all around the world and that sad situation is not going to improve.  I am grateful for having heard so much music I never dreamed I would through this site and the kindness of several people who who have sent me things to download like Dundonnell and others.  You have given me so much pleasure in my (rather boring) retirement years.  I thank everyone who posts music here (I wish I knew how and that I had some thing not already here) for making all this wonderful music available to me and others who love and appreciate fine music.  Malito :)
