Inquiries from my Inbox: Jason writes: “Hey! Last night, I went to see Sepultura. The first openers were all bands I knew and somewhat liked. Most of them played tight, well-rehearsed, energetic and interesting sets. But when Sepultura came on, it took about a minute to realize that they were working on a completely different level than the openers. They were tight, well-rehearsed, energetic and interesting but they had something else that I can't describe. It was just electric. I'd chalk it up to liking the band and knowing their material - and I sure there's some of that - but I'm really not THAT big of a Sepultura fan.”

Random Musical Thought: from Psalm 33:3, “Play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.”

Rachel Barton Pine’s appearance on the national radio show St. Paul Sunday, recorded on October 19, 2004. Includes performances of music by Ravel, Mackenzie, Bach, Westhoff, and more, plus the world premiere of Augusta Read Thomas’s “Rush,” written for Ms. Pine.

Inquiries from my Inbox: BBC Music Magazine asks: “If you were stranded on a desert island, what luxury item, what book, and what recording would you want to have with you?”
 
Random Musical Thought: Steve Hashimoto writes: “If you watch almost any horror or science-fiction movie, you’ll hear some sort of atonal  music on the soundtrack; you probably won’t hear anything like that in your typical Reese Witherspoon or Jennifer Aniston flick. It made me think that perhaps there’s your demographic for a concert of works by Webern and Berg and Stockhausen: dudes who dress in black, listen to Metallica, and rent the Saw series. Worth a shot…”

A discussion about Rachel Barton Pine’s document from the Rachel Elizabeth Barton Foundation’s Instrument Loan Program, “Proper Care of String Instruments and Bows.”
