Very good! Kassandra is quite an amazing piece (as is much of Mâche's output), and Roscoe Mitchell's solo work is also incomparable.

What is "improvization"?

No

Shiori usui from scratch score

But I think this was always rather good and they did some great stuff in a very particular way

Francois-Bernard Mache used to feature "quite" regularly on H&N, but I don't remember hearing anything of his for some years now. I'm glad Volkov chose to programme at least one of his works.

Re: LCS, I’ve listened to the album 'Memory Forms' on AppleMusic, which contains some of the pieces in your link.

Re: Mache, I know nothing, so I look forward breaking my duck this Saturday (I don’t think there’s anything on my telly this Saturday night, not even MOTD ).
