Scelsi, Cage and Cardew

[Serial_Apologist]

Works by Scelsi and Cage I have not heard before. Also very much looking forward to Part 3 of Cardew's "Great Learning". Have any of our contributers heard this enormous work in its entirety?

I, and a number of other contributors to the old BBC Radio 3 message boards, took part in the first complete performance in 1984, (you can hear an extract from that tonight, I am given to understand). I have also listened to the 4 CD set of a Polish performance given last year (bit of a disappointment, that). If anyone would like to hear a recording of the 1984 performance, a PM should do the trick. A performance of Paragraph 3 given at the ICA a year or two ago can be found on YouTube:

Thanks Bryn!

Happy to be able to link to it, S_A. Quite a few who took part in the very first performance of Paragraph 3 (up the stairwell of The German Institute, Exhibition Road in the early '70s) are to be found also participating in that ICA performance, and none of them look a day older. Decades, yes, but not a day.

That sounds like a Ronnie Scott joke, Bryn

Oh wow! Happy days indeed. What nostalgia! I recall some very fine events at The Crypt. Not just AMM, but Pink Fairies too.

Wonderful stuff indeed! Schubert watch out, cos here comes Cornelius, snapping at your heels with his irresistible melodies and glorious harmonies...

Will someone (he chooses to ignore me !) tell this sad little idiot to "go away" ?

Just ignore ignoramuses is the best advise here MrGongGong
