strange imaginary animals has just been awarded the Grammy for Best Chamber Music Performance, and Judy Sherman, our wonderful producer, was awarded the Grammy for best classical producer.

Update: Below, drinking more champagne, this time out of champagne flutes, about an hour later, after the Alb and the Duv (with the Duv’s pez) had arrived.

    Fantastic! “Molto” congratulations, and it makes me so happy you all won. “Strange imaginary animals” is a hell of a recording, and deserves the widest audience possible. So sometimes these awards shows do get it right.
