Fierce Joy and Proof That It Happened

Articles/Essays – Volume 45, No. 2

In my CD collection is a set of two semi-bootlegged discs, their cases held together with a rubber band, each marked La Pietà, 1/21/01 in permanent marker. The recording itself is perfectly legal; I arranged for it with an ebullient phone contact at NPR’s “Performance Today,” along with recordings of several other concerts on the “Chamber Music in Historic Sites” schedule that season. That I ended up with a copy of it is sheer luck, or divine intervention, or chutzpah. The music is a French-Canadian all-girl band, playing music written for young women, and it is my favorite CD.
