Ahh, the beloved Portsmouth Sinfonia. I remember them well.
The English version of the name 'Zarathustra' is 'Zoroaster' (as in the Zoroastrians of India).
You might just have started something here ....
I doubt anyone here will be hearing this for the first time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MM6qntPpyZ0 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MM6qntPpyZ0).

I don't think that is Richard Strauss.
Probably Sorabji.

Much closer to the former than the latter, notwithstanding the great distance; I just wonder whether the Strauss Estate will be suing / ghave already sued for royalties...
How far ahead of his time Stauss was. I'm sure I detected some Stockhausen in the mix...
Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly, then, Alan.

Maybe Richard Sorabji, the historian/philosopher (perhaps he is an amateur composer as well? Would I know?) (no, I am not making him up (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Sorabji) - actually, he's taught near where I'm at.)

Not at all! Al
istair knows already that he is perfectly capable of making his own Thalburgers...
I have an entire album of the magic that is Portsmouth Sinfonia. I put it on when it's time for the guests to go home. Never fails.

Unfortunately, with most of my guests I can achieve the same effect with the Vienna or Berlin PO, and with every composer from Mozart to Mahler... I reckon they'd be amused by Portsmouth S, though!
