Remixing? Like puttin' a backin track on ala Waldo De los Rios or some other?Maybe rescoring for electronic instruments and synthesizers.
Nah - old hat - Walter/Wendy Carlos and and Tomita have been there before.
So what is this all about?I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.

One's own reaction to it may be either to wince and say 'How awful' - or to laugh. What I'm not too sure about is the purpose of recording it and releasing a record. That is something completely different from the communal performance of attempting. I winced and laughed!
So, again, what is the purpose of this latest BBC initiative? Are we supposed to laugh at the results, or say 'What an interesting new take on Beethoven. This is Beethoven for the 21st century'?It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.
