PROGRAM NOTES

Bryant began the show solo, as I ran three blocks for the CD I wanted -- in 6 minutes time. First piece was the Mystery Music for listeners to guess, which turned out to be the slow movement from Grieg's Piano Concerto. I had no idea...2 minutes and counting...

Breathless I ran in with the disc I had left in the car's CD player, the new disc by flutist Marina Piccinini. Nowhere in the USA except here on Radio Depaul. Bryant voiced his true feelings about the flute and its wimpy sound..I promised to play the flute sonata by Poulenc in the near future. He did like the Andante, however. Me too.

Schnittke: not wimpy, but with a delicate ending.

Prokofiev: Ivan the Terrible: not wimpy!This ran 74 minutes.

Boyce: Symphony #8 in Dmin & #5 in D; 2 contrasted styles, both Handelesque. Or Purcellian. Or just Boycean, since he really had his own way with the short-lived English style. Was he the last?

Britten: Simple Symphony/ Britten conducting (stylishly). (Decca)

After 74 minutes of Slavic intensity, Bryant's last two choices cleaned the palatte like lemon sorbet.

Chocolate and caffeine is a superb combination! try serving a sq . along with a cup. A nibble of dark chocolate combined with a dissolve-in-the mouth sip of java is surely an outstanding treat! The chocolate can be loved by dipping it, or perhaps losing a bit directly into the espresso. [url=http://www.x21w12w21.info]Heukuk8ily[/url]

As a way to build muscle, you should sustain in depth records of your improvement, and exactly how you obtained there. By spending some time to jot straight down a couple of information about the exercise routines and reps executed in each and every work out treatment, it is possible to regularly build on everything you have already carried out, and continue to expand much stronger and make a lot more muscle tissue.
