Am I then correct in my assumption that you're an athiest who lives in 
Salt Lake City?  If so, how is that?  The other non-Mormons who I know 
who live there sometimes seem a little frustrated.  (Feel free not to 
answer if too personal/inflammatory for a semi-public setting like this).

That's awesome!

Out of curiosity, who are the recordings by?  I've always taken to 
Karajan for Beethoven and have a soft spot for Maazel's Tchaikovsky 
symphonies, but I've focused on breadth rather than depth in my 
classical music listening so I'm pretty ignorant on this matter.
