wow, interesting, thanks for the tip. maybe someone can bump this thread up just before it starts?

[Sergio Zamora]

Has Til ever recorded Cage?

[Brian Olewnick]

Yep, there's a gorgeous recording of the Sonatas and Interludes done for Japanese London in 1974 that Jon was nice enough to bring back for me from Japan last year. Great disc.

Alastair, you're a dude, I always miss stuff like this. Downloading real player now.

Guess whose MP3 recorder f***ed up last night? Mine. That'll teach me to trust technology.

Any comments from those who actually heard it?

[Nathaniel Catchpole]

Heard the last bit. After thanking you for the reminder, I got diverted for an hour and forgot again. The Radio 3 stream ain't bad I'll say that, only heard ten minutes of the music. I have a stream recorder on my PC, ought to check it out, then I won't have to mess around with timing.

[Jon Abbey]

I was looking forward to it, but had friends over at the time, so I missed it.
