In my youth, I purchased a disc set of the complete symphonies of VW conducted by Vernon Handley. I still listen to my favorite tracks in digital file, including the 2nd Movement: Scherzo Alla Marcia of the Symphony No.8 with the Royal Philharmonic. The unusual instrumentation is the perfect vehicle for the music's sarcastic wit.

Thank you for this wonderful music to start my week!

And what a lovely comment about my work, John. Thanks so much for recommending my work, and a second time! How touching. The way you describe it is the best summary of what it is I've come across. As for this idea of "creating one's own world," this is also something you can claim of your newsletter. Isn't it fun? Thanks again!
