I am listening to an extraordinary classical composition by:
ELVIS COSTELLO
Elvis Costello . . . Il Sogno A Ballet after Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream
Performed by the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas on Deutsche Grammophon
This was Costello's first composition for Orchestra and "stands up well in comparison with George Gershwin's concert music".
I kid you not, this is great stuff.
