It's a great piece of music, so it's not sad at all. And I've been quite surprised that it's quite easy to get interested in the recordings, because there are a lot more interesting things going on in them than you might expect. I'm blogging the experience, in fact, at my blog: http://dfenton.com/NoComment/ So far, I've evaluated the earliest recordings I've been able to get my hands on (the earliest is not available for MP3 download, and the CD won't arrive until next week). I now have before me to analyze a string of recordings from the 70s and 80s that have been widely anthologized, and I'm anticipating this will be the low point, before I then get to the 80s and the Early Music recordings. I've actually been quite surprised at the things I've learned, and couldn't wait to get back to it today when I got my "real" work done! -- David W.
