Anyway....at this point, we are all frequently (and quite correctly) admonished to "get back to the music, please".  So, let's do so. As I asked previously, has anyone listened to the Blodek "Shakespeare" suite, which is the included music with the recorded symphony? Might acquire it as well, but always like to hear reviews, pro and con, from the UC community. Thanx, everyone.

As you'll see I've started a new thread on this music.

I'll bite - Well IMHO nothing objectionable, somewhat in the genre of the Meyerbeer, Saint-Saens, Suppé, Raff, pre-Ring Wagner, et.al. incidental music. It's like in the late 19th century groups of composers passed around a manuscript - each making their own addition to it without creating anything attributable or distinguishable from the other.
