When I read that, I thought that there must be a Soul Barber in Harlem, Detroit or somewhere.
But the only one I could find is in Glasgow.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Even as I type, my inner DJ's winked at me and turned up the volume, I'll need to get myself re-programmed.

I have only heard it live once, a four and a half hour version by the Smith Quartet in Glasgow a couple or so years ago.
At the Sorabji gig discussed on here a couple of years ago that three of us attended, the time flew and an hour felt like ten minutes. How was the MF gig in Glasgow?

Alexander Zemlinsky - String Quartet #2 (1915).
Lasalle Quartet - Deutsche Grammophon
I've owned this set for quite a few years now. I really enjoyed collecting DG's 20th Century Classics series. Great covers too.
Although #2 is considered his string quartet masterpiece, #3 was always my favourite. Not sure anymore.

String Quartets 1 to 3.
Royal String Quartet of Warsaw.
1. Already it is dusk. (Just beautiful).
2. Quasi una Fantasia. (listen out for some Ibizaesque hypnotic repetition in the 2nd movement).
3. Songs are Sung. (At just under an hour a bit overlong IMO).

Perhaps ER was a consultant on the SQs.
They are like those straplines on Town signs.
Nuclear free Crawley.

Trowbridge. Not as bad as Melksham.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
