30th
Great live performances get me excitedly thinking about the various people in my life that I think would enjoy that particular performance too. This is sometimes accompanied by a twinge of sadness as so many of the people I adore are spread out around the world.
This is why I’m delighted to tell you that the Pestova/Meyer Piano Duo is releasing Stockhausen’s MANTRA on CD. I loved seeing this piece live, and am really pleased at the prospect of being able to share it with others.
They need your support and have a wonderful donation strategy:
“According to our latest financial calculations, every second of music will cost us approximately 0.70 Euro cents. This means that as our sponsor, you can “own” 10 seconds for 7 Euro, 15 seconds for 10.50, 20 seconds for 14 Euro, and so on. In return for your help, we will list your name on our website and put a link to your website along with the seconds that you sponsored (if you know the piece well, you can even specify your preferred sections!). You will also have the opportunity to write a 50-word statement describing why you have decided to help us. Alternatively, you can also stay anonymous.”
