Cornelius Cardew: 'Bun No 1' at the Proms (and at Five against Four)
I am just about ready to begin posting again. My new blog name and address is Avant que j'oublie. I'll be maintaining the posts here at the High Pony Tail as best as I can, but you'll find the new stuff at the new place. I hope that some of you will follow me there.The most exciting music on the internet this week is a recent Proms performance of Cornelius Cardew's exceptionally rigorous and beautiful orchestral piece 'Bun No 1' (1965) posted at the Five against four blogspot. My advice to you is --- don't miss it! It's certainly the musical event of my month and I don't feel in the least bit guilty putting off my own new posts for another week or so and indulging in repeat listenings to this lost post-serial treasure.
Thanks to everyone whose has encouraged me at the High Pony Tail. I'll be getting to your requests at Avant que j'oublie soon, beginning with some great stuff shared by Olde Edo and R. Pitts. If that sounds promising, make sure and add it to your bookmarks. Take care and see you soon.
