I heard part of that story this morning - thanks for the link - I'll go back and listen to it from the beginning.

Scott Simon, the host of the Saturday Weekend Edition program is pretty consistent in offering these great meditations on various forms of music. He also spoke with Marin Alsop (Baltimore Symphony conductor) about Also Sprach Zarathustra. They cleverly titled to piece Alsop Sprach Zarathustra.

But back to the MacArthur piece. I heard a lovely voice coming through the kitchen when I was stumbling around getting my morning tea and had the thought I'd need to look it up, and see if Desert Dancer beat me to making the link--and here Carter beat both of us. It certainly sounded much better than the singing that was heard in a later piece about the popularity of Karaoke.
