Too Much to Listen To? Problem Solved!!

[ZauberdrachenNr.7]

Harry sez :  "So much to listen to, so little time..." Ken B. is still "wading through the piles..."  But help is here at last!  Like ragtime piano player Bob Milne we can all learn to listen to four recordings at once!

Can we just follow the Reader's Digest approach and listen to condensed versions?

I did this with Ligeti. Sounded just the same.

Maybe mix him with three other composers?  Maybe you'll like it better!  0:)

Just listened to that! Wow! Actually, the guy doesn't like playing CDs, he can play 4 symphonies back in his mind simultaneously (and tell what is happening in any one at any time and be accurate (people are tracking the four symphonies in a control room to see if he is right or not).  Amazing.

Surely we can just throw everything out and buy

Thanks for letting us know about that broadcast.

These are the response that popped into my head as I was listening to it:

1. This guy would probably enjoy listening to Charles Ives.
2. Wow.
3. You're kidding.
4. Wow.
5. No, that's not possible.
6. Wow.
7. He can do that? Really?
8. Wow.

And accompanying most of those "Wow"s was the sight of my jaw dropping further and further the more I listened. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I mean, I could, but... um... ah... er...

All I can say is:

Bob Milne is one unique individual.
