Thank you for the interest in my clip, and please note that my avatar is also an aye-aye They are an endangered species resident of Madagascar. Endangered not because there aren't enough grubs behind the bark for everyone, but because the natives supposedly think they're so incredibly ugly, that looking at them brings bad luck unless they are killed on the spot. Naturally, if you kill one, it can no longer reproduce.  |

The original Sovexport trailer for the Andrei Tarkovski film Solaris: http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=1Tob56MebI8I hear some familiar music in this trailer, Varèse's Poème électronique for instance. I wonder if this piece by Varèse's was ever broadcast on Soviet radio. |

It is interesting trailor, pim_derk. Youtube is great.
I forgot this movie, should watch it again.
In my time in the Soviet Union there was no classical station and only the most popular classical music was broadcast. May be in Gorbachev time situation was more liberal.
Are you sure it is Varese music there? I did not know. I actually like it.

You can listen to the complete piece here, t-p: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEG5y7ulqlYThis clip was part of a documentary on Varese made for Dutch television somewhere in the late 1990s. |

So there is hope! I can imagine them blending very well indeed with bassoons. I note that Benedikt Eppelsheim made one of the instruments - he's a brilliant instrument maker in Munich who was also responsible for the tubax (a series of low saxophones which are very considerably more... er... musical than any other bass or contrabass saxes I know) and a new model of contrabass clarinet - and jointly responsible for the contraforte, a new model of contrabassoon which is making quite a lot of headway in orchestras. Speaking of contrabassoons, here's Perlemuter playing the Ravel left hand concerto (I posted that somewhere else but it's certainly more appropriate here): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xqQ0RKdrb8(Part 2 is there as well) And Samson François for good measure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3Ol_sliu6s |

How heartening to see a new generation of Chafers Meantime, for anyone with an interest in such things: http://youtube.com/watch?v=DkdklcGbojcAll shot in stop-motion - must have taken months with the technology they had then? (btw, can anyone recognise what the music is in the background... I'm sure I've heard it somewhere before?). And I suppose we shouldn't forget either http://youtube.com/watch?v=RZwOu-ZR9JIor, of course http://youtube.com/watch?v=UfUBkDu5KZg(you couldn't make a kid's film with a song called "goluboy vagon" these days, of course  ) |
