"To anyone who has not heard Mr Stiles' hauntingly beautiful music for "Uncle Vanya" and "Twelfth Night", I urge you to enter this wonderful world just as soon as you can.
When I saw "Twelfth Night" in New York last month, his sad, sonorous and delicate music infused the production with an uplifting spirit of love that informed every scene - every verse. Who was this magician, this "George Stiles"? I'd never heard of him before.
I purchased the CD and played it over and over. Now here I am, a sensible, middle-aged man who finds himself writing fan mail on the internet.
Ah, me. Keep yourself healthy, Mr Stiles, and let us mortals listen in on the wondrous happenings in your heart."
