   I'd watch that. Local flavor helps. I saw a couple of Tasmanian set   
   shows: The Kettering Incident with Elizabeth Debicki way before The   
   Crown; and I came to enjoy Deadloch after starting it last year.

   A popular and beautiful work, not lacking for good recordings. I've   
   heard great instruments played by visiting soloists (Midori and Gil   
   Shaham, for two examples) at the symphony and even a Guarneri closer up   
   in a chamber setting.
