Having said that, I have a recording on DVD of the Dance of the Sugar 
Plum Fairy played on the organ at Liverpool Cathedral. It has an almost 
bell-like quality, which sounds really nice...

Check this out:

(Not quite as good, but still a lot of fun.)

That's some pretty insane footwork. And check out those runs of the 
scale where he changes hands half way though... I'll never be this good, 
sadly.

I'm sure he at least wouldn't mind 4'33" ;-)

Along these lines I was very surprised to find that a professor who was 
sitting in on a computer science seminar with me was actually a pupil of 
Xenakis.  He had some amusing stories to tell about how Xenakis once 
cleared out an entire concert hall save for three of his students 
(including the professor) in the front row.

I was also lucky enough to hear a good reproduction of La Légende d'Eer 
in an actual concert a couple of years ago.  My girlfriend who I'd 
dragged to the event was somewhat less enthusiastic.

LOL, reminds me of the 1950s/60s jukebox record of 2.5 mins of silence or the
Picasso art where he sold signed blank pieces of paper.

Thank you for that. May I respond with "Several Species Of Small Furry Animals
Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict"?
