I been thinking how I miss the Bethany 440 program for this sort of thing...
  3:30pm
Dean:

Had to look up "Bethany 440," not realizing it's a reference to a former WFMU slot. What a series of playlists! I thought you might be referring to a live concert series, Rabbit, which made me recall LA's Green Umbrella series, which was spectacular.

Good small-group string playing gets my blood going. It's irresistibly exciting.

"Tundra Songs" kicks ass. Like Jeff above, I also know I've heard it before. Maybe it WAS on Ken's little programme...

Amazing, because at no time in history were any of the three co-composers alive together. But then that simply reinforces how Laurence Sterne could have co-authored "Ulysses" with James Joyce.

Really, Golijov is riffing on the Thanksgiving adagio from Beethoven's op. 132.

@VP: Next up, Peter Maxwell Davies' "Willow Farm."

KQ's "Purple Haze" is on their album with Sculthorpe et al. When I heard them back in the day, they'd encore with a medley of TV show theme songs ("I Love Lucy," etc.).

Check that CD, Kurt. Ten-to-one it's a PDO disk from pre-1993 or so. Those Unicorn disks were among the ones defectively manufactured by PDO. They bronze to death. I replaced a huge number of PDO disks back in the '90s. I'd report the titles to PDO and they'd send a good replacement.
