Advantages: An alternative software package for office documents and photo imaging Disadvantages: It does not have the Power point presentation editing feature
got my new Sony Viao notebook, my MS Office (Word, Powerpoint, Excell, Outlook) is on-line trial basis for 60 days. Having that, I decided to borrow from my cousin the unopened/un-used new complete pack of WorksSuite version 2004 as my back-up office software prior to MS Office expiration.

Advantages: to add great music in to your collection Disadvantages: None
Steven Isserlis is an outstanding cellist. When you listen his playing alive, which I did, you can see how he captures you with his playing. I am a professional viola player for twenty years.

(Do I hear lamentation from the period instrument purists? Oh, pshaw.)
The pieces on this album were arranged and transcribed, or co-arranged and co-transcribed by Ms Balsom herself from works for the keyboard, cello, oboe, flute, voice, etc. Transcription seems to come easily to her: so natural do the works of Bach sound on the trumpet, you’d think they were written especially for it. The trumpet repertoire is rather thin on the classical side of things, and surely ...
