"I had the great good fortune to hear my NIGHT OF THE FOUR MOONS
conducted by the accomplished Italian conductor Simone Fontanelli.
It is rare that one's music is prepared with such sensitivity and insight,
combined with such superb technical skill. My warmest congratulations
to this wonderful musician!"
George Crumb
