Yes.

In 1983 Peter Greenaway directed four 1-hour documentaries on American  
Composers who were giving concerts in England that year.  The four videos,  
available as a set `4merican Composers' from Mystic Fire, profile John Cage,  
Meredith Monk, Robert Ashley, and Philip Glass.

The video on Cage consists mostly of interviews with Cage and excerpts from a  
concert in which many of his pieces --- selected at random, of course --- were  
played, often several at the same time.  Sprinkled through the video are some  
of Cage's 1-minute monologues of amusing anecdotes (I forget what he calls  
them) which help explain Cage's philosopies, almost like Zen ko-ans.  True to  
the spirt of Cage, environmental sounds are not excluded while these stories  
are being read.  My favorite part of this video is probably the beginning,  
where several of these stories are read while we watch and hear a building  
being rennovated. (Apparently, a building was rennovated specifically for the  
concert.)  Some of the pieces in the concert were `Roratorio', `Bacchanal' (for  
prepared piano), the piece for conch shells filled with water, the piece  
involving sticking things up a phonograph arm, etc....  (Cage participated in  
some of the pieces.)
This is a well-made video, and has helped turn me on to some of Cage's works  
which I was a little put off by before.  

BTW: Some comments on the other videos.

Monk: Long excerpts from performances of `Turtle Dreams' and `Dolmen Music',  
the complete song `The Tale', exerpt from `Biography'.  Excerpts from some of  
her films, including `Ellis Island', `Quarry' and `16mm Earrings'.  These  
excerpts are quite valuable, since in most parts of the country your chances of  
seeing Monks films are pretty slim, although it is fairly easy to get the  
music.

Glass: Long excerpts from `Einstein on the Beach' (Spaceship --- concert, not  
staged), `Glassworks' (groan...), and `Music in Similar Motion'.  Includes  
interviews with all members of the Ensemble.  Most interesting quote:  Glass is  
discussing how simple the harmonic structure and certain other elements of his  
music used to be, the interviewer observes that it was also quite repetitive,  
to which Glass answers, its still repetitive, I'm afraid.  Both laugh.

Ashley: Excerpts from a concert of a staged version of `Perfect Lives'.   
Greenaway opted for showing a little of each act rather than giving us a long  
look at any one act.  I think this was a mistake.  Judging from this video,  
you'd think Ashley never wrote anything other than this opera, which is  
referred to in the video as a work in progress.

If you can find a Russian recording, (or better yet, a Russian pianist

The moral to this story may lie in making sure that your petulant
outbursts are *never* followed by .sig lines featuring the work of
Metallica. It undercuts the adult tone of voice bigtime. There is
a pack of flourescent-tanned geeks out there who simply shiver with
sublimated delight with every posting which responds to their cutesy
game, and you've just made them feel real good (in addition to sounding
like a poor imitation of a junior-high principal). I doubt that's
what you wanted. If you want the signal, you gotta live with the noise.
To quote Earth, Wind, and Fire (who are never in my .sig line), "That's
the Way of the World." Happy hunting on Mr. K.

Hyperion has recorded all of Purcells Odes on 8 CD's. Ainsley is featured
on some of them. The music is wonderful and so are the recordings.

Equal temperament means just that: all semitones are the same
size, therefore all intervals of the same number of semitones are
the same size.

Well-tempered means using one of several tunings developed a little before
Bach's time.  These are somewhere between mean-tone (most thirds pure)
and equal temperament.  There are lots of descriptions of the actual
numbers involved; try Easley Blackwood's book on tunings (Princeton,
1985 or so).

Strictly speaking, these two readings can't be compared because Pletnev

True cognoscenti will recognize that Bruckner and Mahler actually have
very little in common, other than a few superficial points. Their works
are often lumped together because both lived at the tail end
of the 'Romantic' era, and both wrote long symphonies. In aesthetic terms,
however, their music inhabits different universes. Comparison is
therefore somewhat pointless.

Mahler has certainly become more the popular success, and understandably
so, given the accessibility of much of his music. There are some things
that Bruckner has done, however, that are uniquely great in their own
right. For example, the first two movements of the 7th Symphony, and
the entire 9th Symphony. These provide an experience that is unavailable
elsewhere.

once there really isn't any reason to listen to it ever again.  It's a
cute exercise in orchestration, but like the composer himself, I find
very little music in it.  Of course, it does beat listening to Orff's

When the St. John's church in Leipzig decided to expand, it was
necessary to move several graves. One of the graves exhumed was thought
to contain the remains of JS Bach because they thought that Bach
probably would have been buried there. One of the bodies was wearing a
coat similar to the famous portrait of JSB.  A face mask was made
of its skull, and based on all this it was assumed that this was
Bach's body. It is now buried in the alter of the church.

He's the tenor soloist on the Hogwood/Academy of Ancient Music recording
of Mozart' c-minor Mass (other soloists being Arleen Auger, Lynne Dawson,
and David Thomas), I performance I recommend on all counts.

He's also on the new Norrington/LCP/Schutz Choir recording of Mozart's
