Hi, Mat. One of my fellow members on another classical music site to which I belong had recommended him, so I listened to a couple of his symphonies via Spotify, and found that I rather liked his music. Are you familiar with his output, then?

A local Italian educator retired and his business was emptied,
so I looked close into the dumpster walking home last night.
Over 25 CD's of Italian opera and music, that I gave away.
I kept a Yo-yo Ma double disc with booklet for myself,
what I listened to.
There's a few others I haven't got to.
