tomorrow’s music — today!

My attention was caught by this comment:

Another day in the non-death of classical music.

and upon reading the post, I followed the link to learn about Salonen’s premiere of his new piece. I have the Salonen/Bronfman recording of the Rachmaninov 2nd and 3rd and have listened to it about a million times đŸ˜‰

But, I thought to myself, what if when I go back to listen to this, it’s been taken down? Hmmm . . . .

Read on for the exact steps I used.
