Emlyn, I'm so glad you piped in.  Whew.  I felt so out of touch in not being 
able to appreciate Celtic-ness and Brightess and Corr-or-less and ... Karen 
Carpenter?  Yipes.

But then, I'm to blame - I'm not a music fan.  I do like 
music-when-it-comes-with-visuals (like opera, movies) and some things like 
... oh, Four Last Songs (the first is not of the greatest recorded quality, 
but sublime in spite):

I read somewhere that that Nessum Dorma was pre-recorded (not long before) - 
especially for this concert.  The orchestra pretended to play, the conductor 
pretended to conduct - and if this is indeed true, it makes it even more 
poignant.
