Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

A recording of Der Wildschütz was issued in the early '80s, IIRC: I heard excerpts on Record Review and from what I remember it sounded more like Schubert-lite than Strauss. I wasn't moved to buy the records or seek out any of his other works.Originally posted by Anna View Post

Britten's Canticle The Death of St Narcissus
Musgrave's Narcissus for solo Flute and electronics (written for James Galway whom I think I remember giving a television performance in the late '70s, and not looking very happy when he finished!
