A thousand thanks to dot com/Evan for posting this link - a 55 minute programme consisting of an interview with Nicolas Slonimsky but which also contains the original recording of Ionisation
Another thousand from me too. A great listen. I do like the way that in a 40 minute discussion all the interviewer needs to do is to offer two and a bit very brief questions and Slonimsky is off, non-stop. I'm not complaining though
. He became a bit of a star on US chat shows in his later years (i.e. his late 90s, early 100s
) didn't he? I can now see why.
