This excellent guitarist has managed to fit at least three of my personal favorite composers onto this program:  Luciano Berio (see above), the antic Fausto Romitelli, and the way underplayed Spectralist Philippe Hurel.  So highly recommended to me, at least.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  The New American food at Vinegar Hill House, to me, never quite lives up to the extremely, almost unbelievably, charming room.  But the food is good enough; that room is a lot to live up to.  Anyway, the cocktails and wine program sure do.  So while it may be that you can't eat ambiance, you can certainly use it to line your stomach while you drink it in.
