I listened to the press conference earlier today, the highlight of which was Jimmy López speaking Finnish (well, not really, but that was fun). The press release is here, and even more on the team, including samples of Jimmy López' music, can be found here.

However, I still think Lyric needs to commission an opera based on the life of Samuel Insull. If I ever win the lottery . . .
