Avant Garde Project 175 is up and running

[loudav]

The Avant Garde Project celebrates its dodransbicentennial (quartoseptcentennial?) with the only out-of-print recording of Arnold Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire that I could find in my stacks. It is sung/recited by Mary Thomas with The Fires of London, and was released on LP on Unicorn Records RHS 319 in 1973. Pierrot Lunaire had a special place in the repertoire of The Fires of London in that they were originally named The Pierrot Players when they formed in 1967. The LP also includes a recording of Schoenberg's Chamber Symphony in an arrangement by Anton Webern for the same instrumentation that is used for Pierrot Lunaire.

Thanks for this one! The Fires of London is actually one of my all-time favourite band names.
