This thread is turning into What WERE you listening to for me.
Yesterday was my wife's birthday (and Mica's- happy belated).
We went and saw the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra perform Beethoven's Fifth, truly a pleasure. The show started with some modern composers (Sean Shepherd and Nico Muhly). But the cherry on top was that prior to going into Beethoven's brilliance, they played a short song by Morton Feldman.
As soon as the song started my wife bolted upright and sat on the edge of her seat; the song was the same song that is the intro to a local radio show (WMSE's The Modern Chamber) and she always swoons when she hears it.
So there it was, the perfect birthday gift, surprisingly provided by an unexpected source.
And here it is: Madame Press Died Last Week at Ninety
