<several groups>	"Birdland" (haven't decided which one I like best yet)

The only additional stipulation is that there be at least some Ella Fitzgerald
on the Basie album. The Passions and Beethoven 9th must be sung in German.
Authentic instrumentation for the Brandenburgs, too (i.e. harpsichords,
recorders, transverse flutes, and violas da gamba, not pianos, modern flutes,
and cellos). Isaac Stern for the Beethoven violin concerto. London Symphony
preferred (except Munich Chamber Orchestra or Chamber Orchestra of the Saar
for Brandenburgs and Mozart).

One question for ucbvax!wildbill:  How can somebody who obviously likes
good music (Bach, et al) possibly write "Beethoven, L. van" ???

Please ignore my previous article (zeppo.193).
My appologies to ucbvax!wildbill.
