  2. My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it! I just stumbled upon it recently and too found it quite insightful. The DVD is a tad pricey, but I don't know anything else like this, and you couldn't ask for a greater authority or better players. Too, especially as demonstrated in "Selection I" Barton et al really show a most impressive attention to the details of form, expression, and reception.
