In the mailbox today arrived a press release from EMI Classics: "If there’s one thing that we here at the EMI Classics US offices have struggled with over the last year, it’s been the wrenching tragedy of having our mice die after complicated heart transplant procedures. Fortunately, all that will change with the latest release from our beloved catalog reissue series Music for Recently Operated-Upon Pets..." The release is linked, of course, to that pathbreaking study linking Mozart and Verdi to successful heart operations on mice.
