Streichquintette von George Onslow mit dem Ensemble Tamuz

Da gibt es logischerweise noch einiges zu entdecken. So ist auch eines der beiden Streichquintette, die das Ensemble Tamuz für sein Debüt-Album aufgenommen hat, eine offiziel...

So, no surprises, the Government has officially pulled the plug on the $16 billion Lake Onslow hydro project in Central Otago. Work stopped on Friday. Because the Government thinks it’s money down the drain; says it would be wasteful spending if it allowed it to continue; and reckons it would be a long time before we saw any benefits. Instead, it’s going to focus on things like wind, solar and geothermal energy. There’s a catch to that, though. Which I’ll get to shortly. The reason more than $20 million has been spent on...
