Thanks Alex.
It was a great opportunity to do this and thanks a lot to Herb for giving me the chance.
I have to say that I haven't yet heard the Midsummer Nights Dream, however...
The Ravel !!
It also gets my vote for the best performance I have ever heard done with MIDI. It reveals the truth of what I have said in my often irritating posts - that samples can create an expression completely unprecedented for a composer. It is delicate, exquisite, a beautiful tone, and the essence of fluid, ever-changing expression - everything that samples are not supposed to be. It shows above all the tremendous musical potential of the great VSL sample library. It really blew me away when I heard it, and also was tremendously exciting to me as an example of just how much power this medium gives an individual person. I wanted to congratulate Jay for his impeccable skill and artistry.
