Oh, where is my head? I think it's disappeared into the vortex of disbelief at the connection actually being the Ninja Turtles.

Gounod: the "Jewel" aria from Faust
Walton: Crown Imperial
Pizzetti: Prelude to Another Day
Stockhausen: 'Scorpius' from Tierkries?
Sibelius: The Maiden in the Tower
Rachmaninov: In the Silence of Night
Handel: 'Resign thy club and lion's spoils' from Hercules?

I'd never heard of Paul Scott or his Raj Quartet before discovering this. Is he/are they worth a read?

I haven't read the Raj Quartet for years, but it is certainly worthwhile, as is its pendant, Staying On which won the Booker when I was young and in my prime.

The Raj Quartet is like Brideshead Revisited, a work that had a legendary TV serial that I have never seen, because I had read the book first.

My mum said this evening she had just been to see the new movie of Brideshead and liked it.  I think that Waugh's Helena is much more moving and compelling as a bit of catholic apologetic.

I know nothing about Thomas Baltazar and he's not in online Grove... (source of all wisdom)
Could you share what you know of him please? Is he Scottish or something?

It seems he's usually known as Thomas Baltzar (Baltazar appeared on the track I once downloaded from a Teldec CD and on a few online sources), but he was a German composer and violinist who settled in England in 1655, serving Charles II from 1661 (wiki states Charles I, but I suspect Charles I wouldn't have been in a fit state to appreciate any music in 1661, having been executed in 1649!  Roll Eyes)

Ah.

Quote from: Peter Holman. "Baltzar, Thomas." Grove Music Online. Oxford Music Online. 14 Oct. 2008 <http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com/subscriber/article/grove/music/01921>
[Anthony] Wood compared him several times with the English violinist Davis Mell, who ‘play'd farr sweeter than Baltsar, yet Baltsar's hand was more quick and could run it insensibly to the end of the finger-board’...
At first, Wood thought he had died of ‘the french pox and other distempers’, but subsequently wrote that ‘being much admired by all lovers of musick, his company was therefore desired; and company, especially musicall company, delighting in drinking, made him drink more than ordinary which brought him to his grave’...
Unfortunately little of Baltzar's music survives. He introduced English violinists to high positions, elaborate chordal writing, and scordatura.

And a work list:
