The Present Days Composer Refuses To Die
Edgard Varese was a musical influence of Frank Zappa's. His composition, Ionization, in particular. One of the best groups currently performing "modern" classical music is the Ensemble Modern. The Ensemble Modern (Wiki) (WebSite) did a project with Frank in 1992. The level of musicianship of that little outfit (EM) is not to be believed. They have released several recordings of Frank's work. True "must haves" for the complete record collection.

One of my favorites from The Yellow Shark.
Thanks...
You are quite welcome. I'm really glad Frank finally got a chance to work with a bunch of classical music performers that really understood what he was trying to do. As opposed to the LSO that was basically "Only In It For The Money". Merry Zappadan!
