This recording of Morten Lauridsen’s Lux Aeterna, which I mentioned in my Wall Street Journal “Sightings” column about Lauridsen, went to #9 on Amazon’s classical-music chart today. That makes me really, really happy. I love it when something I write makes a difference in the life of a first-rate artist.
Needless to say–I hope–I never cease to be grateful to the Journal for permitting me to use one of the world’s biggest journalistic megaphones, and trusting me to use it responsibly. On days like this, though, I’m even more grateful than usual.
