Thank you Anthony Tommasini and The New York Times for the full page feature story on Lou Harrison on Sunday August 20, 2017' through which I learned about this incredibly talented composer. My wife happens to be part Javanese, so Harrison's music is all the more thrilling.
Hi Wellesz, Check this out. I was just lying here thinking to myself what modern CA composer was it whose name had escaped me for at least 7-10 years (!!), the guy, associated with Mills, wrote a lot for Western and Asian ensembles together, who was gay, who lived down in Aptos, whose piano I had for a long time before it burned up in a fire, etc. etc.?? Well I opened up my YT and right there on my front page of "recommended for you" was this "Mix-Lou Harrison: double concerto"... Etc etc uploaded of course by Yourself. How Cool is that? I keep running into stuff that you've put up; I guess that's how it came to me but nonetheless, I LOVE synchronicity like that. I spoke with Lou many times years ago. Although I didn't go to Mills, I may as well have, considering the amount of time (and $) I spent there at the Concert Hall (Oh, the music that those walls have heard..). I have Many friends who went through that place. I guess I first came to that place through my association
(con't.). Through my association with Chris Brown, who, before taking over the Helm there at Mills had been a piano tuner/technician, like myself. So we had a professional friendship. Anyway, I really just wanted to say hi. Alan Werner, tuner/tech at UC Berkeley.
Awesome. . . Has that deliteful other worldly enchanting quality of curious discovery. . . What a pleasant find. . . Blessings. . .
Everything this man touches turns to gold. Thank you, Lou Harrison.
fantastic. just discovered Lou Harrison. What a gift.
Such a wonderful piece. The Recording of this remarkable piece.
So I am have a Music Theory Degree inn Mozarteum without knowing 10 per cent of the gems of this channel... Self-teaching is everything.
Thank you so much for posting Lou's music. He was a real gem.

Absolutely magic music!
I. Grandly, but moderate 0:00
II. Stampede 8:13
III. Allegro moderato 15:51
thank you
Wonderful piece!
What beautiful music and what a pity that this music is not played more by orchestras in the US
Kenneth Ehrlich the masses always will be behind
I guess there isn't much demand or repertoire for Gamelan orchestras these days.
Maybe because they don't have gamelan instruments?
I can change that.
Beautiful!
the first movement is my favorite

American way is progression. Nice seeing this modern touch of infusion with the gamelan
Nice music
Love from Solo City Indonesia 🙏

A place of solace.
I was convinced the picture from the thumbnail was a platypus swimming underwater, squint and you can kind of see it
Wow. I do see it!

Por fin lo oriental y lo occidental BIEN integrados, sin que parezca un caos ruidista, como resulta demasiadas veces

I saw a platypus as well when it was in thumbnail view.
