Khachaturian is done for the time being. Listened to a weird but kind of fun Fantasia based on themes of Gershwin's Porgy and Bess by a Russian composer named Frolov. Now I'm onto a CD called American Journey, an eclectic album for string orchestra that includes a Bernstein piece (Serenade), the ubiquitous Samuel Barber adagio, the not so ubiquitous suite from Herrmann's Psycho, and some Gershwin and Ives - it's kicky.
