...case of Orwellian creeps. While no Big Brother was watching them, they had flatly been warned that almost everyone else was-or could be-listening. The state senate Judiciary Committee, hoping to draft 20th century laws to cope with ingenious invasions of privacy, set many a Californian on his ear with a report on a lengthy study of electronic eavesdropping and wiretapping, found that for all the benefits of electronic enterprise there have also been some disturbing developments. Among them...
...redheaded fool"; Etten, Holland, in front of the Van Gogh's home, where he is rejected by his cousin Kay with the same taunt; a blazing outdoor scene at Aries; the erotic Maya dream sequence; Madame Louise's brothel, where the psychotic Van Gogh cuts off his ear; and finally the shadowy deathbed scene, in which the painter's death is announced by the offstage firing of a revolver and by the slow illumination of his paintings, ranged about the dark walls like sun-filled windows.

As the bull dropped to its knees...

Another Fromm-Epic collaboration, this disk displays Brooklyn-born Leon Kirchner, 38, at his ear-bending, brain-taxing best. Relentlessly driving, violently dissonant, Kirchner's Trio is broken by occasionally wistful lyrical interludes that give way unexpectedly to snarling climaxes. Equally busy and complex, the Sonata Concertante abounds in the strobe-lighted flashes of musical ideas that fitfully illuminate all of Kirchner's works...
