I was just searching around for any YouTube footage of Heinz Holliger playing his own music and didn't find any, but I did find this, which I recommend you all watch and enjoy at your earliest opportunity. |

Wow, what a weird and wonderful sound, Richard, and quite hypnotic to watch! Thanks for posting it - that's quite made my evening. |

Just been spinning [Jascha] Heifetz playing the first 2 Bach solo sonatas - absolutely spellbinding.
Recorded in October '52, I'd never have guessed just by listening.
Nigel Kennedy tried to put himself in the same arena when he started calling himself "Kennedy" - but he's in.........another arena.

Thanks for this link Richard, what a fascinating piece. I couldn't work out how that theremin was played so I clicked on the Theremin Lesson 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cd4jvtAr8JM&feature=related for enlightenment.Sorry, can't remember how to do a proper link.  |

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

In the 1990s, an acquaintance of mine organised a performance of Lemniscaat by the pianist Kees Wieringa, in Schiedam Central Station (then called Schiedam - Rotterdam West). The performance went on for hours and hours, it was terribly cold (it was winter) and around midnight a homeless man came into the station with a blanket. He was very angry because he wanted to sleep in the station, as he usually did, but the music kept him awake.  Erm ... what does the laugh smiley mean? |
