      One of the many advantages of downloads is that you don't have to spend money on wrapping paper and sellotape and waste time packing them up and placing them by the tree!

                  Ah, so they spoke English in ancient Mesopotamia! I'd always wondered...

                    Obliged - thought I'd set that one up for somebody!

                    Though wasn't it part of the British empire back then?

                      As a penance for my facetiousness I've read up about the original language, Akkadian, and the reasons for Martinu setting it in English. Curious, that he made a text in English, from what he assumed was the only readily available version then (in hexameters in English, a most un-idiomatic metric in English!), but at the first performance it was done in German!

                        Maazel's BRSO Bruckner cycle. Bought the mp3s cheaply ages ago from Google but missed full fat sound... Pricey by modern standards, hence wait until Christmas
