Richard Gruesome:

I don't know if you guys are aware of the problem, but usually when your show starts, there is some sort of glitch on the webstream and it sounds like a cd skipping and I just have to restart the webstream and then it's fine.

Not only was she a composer, but she had philosophical and theological incites that gained the notice of men (which was rare for the 12c).

Got to see Elliot Carter when he was still alive when he was still alive in his 90s, when he attended a performance of one of his pieces at Cooper Union.

In last week's Mr. Robot, they played Glass's "Einstein on the Beach" for a few minutes here and there.

ha, richard, i noticed you didn't clicky-star the schnittke. i thought maybe you'd lapsed into a coma.

You play the one Schnittke work I don't like! (the ending is good)

you wouldn't believe the paperwork that goes into changing a playlist less than two weeks in advance! and ken demands all the forms to be typed in triplicate.

WFMU should solicit donations of carbon paper.

we're also really in need of rolls of fax paper. the price has skyrocketed for that.

That reminds me I need to see if the printer/scanner/fax machine's fax functions correctly. I need to fax something. (you'd think places would accept scans these days).

can't you fax from your computer?

I used to have a really good Saint-Saëns piece for my reproducing piano, but it shredded.

yeah, interesting career. i read his obit. i really didn't know anything about him before.
  11:22am
Dean:

He seemed to show up randomly on liner notes, across many genres. A familiar, ubiquitous name.
  11:22am
Dean:

Aptly for this particular track on the playlist, he was a 'cellist.

Kurt Gottschalk:

wait, which track?

'wild-eyed boy from freecloud' is a fine sampling of his talent - carry on

Do you know/enjoy the Britten 'cello sonatas? Alexander Baillie's recordings are pretty special.

on the record, jensen is credited as playing cello. it's a contemporary piece and i'm not familiar with acme using period instruments.

it's a bit of a weird record, this piece between two terry riley compositions?

Yeah. I went right to the title piece, then promptly forgot about it. Happy to have the chance to hear it now.

Props for playing Sequentia at the top of the show. I missed it, but I have been collecting their records since the early '80s. My vote for best early music group, or at least neck and neck with Les Arts Florissants. Not that it's a horse race.

Kurt Gottschalk:

i picked up a copy of their hvb complete box set, it's stunning to look at and listen to.

Uncle Michael:

Thanks for the music, Kurt.
  11:59am
Dean:

I gather, though, that it doesn't include the first stab at Ordo Virtutum, which includes the most hair-raising Satanic shout on record! I heard Sequentia's performance after that record, spent some time with the group after the show.
