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

            Zürich? Kempe/Tonhalle, Norrington/Zurich Chamber Orchestra. Also, Kempe and Klemperer are buried there.
