As stated in a previous �Orphans� thread, for many years I had favorite pieces of music distributed amongst numerous discs but seldom listened to them since they were saddled with other works of no interest. So I rescued these superlative orphans into my own private collections of four volumes.

Schoenberg�s beautiful work for strings composed before he went all 12 tone weird, based on a poem about two young lovers walking in the moonlight- the young woman confesses the child she carries in her womb belongs to another, but the man loves her so much that he embraces the child his own. Khachaturian�s adagio that can send cold chills down the spine with its beauty. Respighi�s seldom heard piece based on the paintings of Botticelli which includes (had heard that tune yet took years to recognize it) the Christmas carol �Come O Come Emmanuel�. Probably the very last composition by blind composer Rodrigo, which translates as �In search of the beyond� is up for grabs as far as having any meaning. Waited many years for this definitive version conducted by Leonard Bernstein to appear on compact disc: Sensemaya composed by the short-lived, alcoholic Mexican composer Revueltas. The sexiest piece of classical music I ever heard.
