Tremendous playing and sound, but I'm a little suspicious that there is no applause and not a single cough or any audience sounds. The recording also omits Schoenberg's Suite for Piano that she opened with, and slightly changes the playing order.

There is a reCaptcha anti-spam system working in the background when people try to register. I looks like version 3 of reCaptcha no longer works. I have now changed it to V2. Tested and working fine for me. Lets see if we get new registrations.

His performance in Dr. Syn, Alias The Scarecrow (a.k.a. The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh) is akin to his portrayal of Number Six.

The plot deals with a local rebellion in England against King George III and "press gangs" roaming the countryside to supply sailors for the navy.

It was shown in 3 parts on American television via Walt Disney's Sunday program.

Very interesting, especially from the Disney studios! I borrowed the DVD from the Minuteman Library Network.

Not sure how many Taskin harpsichords Bach got to play during his life

While we're at it, I also consider late French Baroque harpsichords anachronistic in relation to Bach's music.

So somebody at that radio station really enjoys the work!  It would be unusual to program it again after only a month!

Only the Interlude has ever been recorded.

"Angry cupcake" (!!!)

One of my most favorite shows ever!  In the 1960's, with Little Marxist and even Stalinist apologists running around proclaiming that freedom was a problem, Patrick McGoohan's response with The Prisoner was most necessary!

I do not need to wonder what his response would be to the present surveillance state, with e.g. just like in The Village, cameras everywhere and massive computers programmed to follow our cellphones and activities!

Patrick McGoohan turned down the role of unscrupulous womanizer James Bond. In the first two episodes of The Prisoner, Number Six's gallant impulses leave him vulnerable to deceitful women, although in both cases the deception is a matter of leading him to believe that he can escape from the Village.

Patrick McGoohan apparently rejected the Bond character on moral grounds: he was only married to one woman (57 years), unlike too many connected to Hollywood.
