    Einstein On The Beach

    I'm working my way through the first recording of this opera.

    I presume there are several versions on youtube. Which one is the best?

    I only know of a Paris production. Basically the same productionas is available on Blu-ray. It's a complete performance, unlike those on CD.

        The one shown as playing for 4:26:34 is the one to go for. If you have videoownload helper or suchlike, you can even save it to a hard drive.
