The Carbon Copy Building

« previous episode | next episode »

Monday, November 10, 2008

The good people from Bang on a Can made waves several years ago with their multimedia comic book opera, The Carbon Copy Building. We sample a track from the 2007 CD release of the work, billed as a "a dynamic and visually stunning trip through the gritty underside of urban life."

Roberto Sierra / Trio No. 2
Poul Ruders / New Rochelle Suite
Bedrich Smetana / Piano Trio in G Minor, Op.15
Carlos Chavez / La Hija de Colquide
Dmitri Shostakovich / Viola Sonata, Op. 147
Dominic Frasca / Deviations

Minor point: Dutch and German double vowels are pronounced long, hence it's Ton (short for Anthony or "Tony") COPE-man not COOP-man. The analogy is Beethoven, pronounced BAY-toe-ven. Sorry to nitpick. Just play good music.

Brahms was born in 1833, NOT 1813. He died days before his 64th birthday.

Can someone please Email me the name of the symphony that was playing Monday evening 11/10 at about 8:15. It ended soon after when I was out for a telephone call.

Does anyone know the name of the song playing at 7:35? It was by The Francisco Quartet playing a John Cohen piece. I need to know the name. It was beautiful!
