Furthermore:
Readers are again encouraged to invest in Naxos's new, inexpensive [$3.99] recording, Sonic Rebellion: The Alternative Classical Collection; which includes works by many outstanding living and recent composers: Glass, Penderecki, Nancarrow, Cage, Henze, Scelsi, Riley, Wuorinen, Varese, Crumb, Ligeti, Gubaidulina, Plaetner, John Adams, Rautavaara, and Arvo Part. [Where is Lutoslawki, whom Alex Ross and I agree, is one of the best composers of the 20th century?] [Update: Upcoming Naxos releases featuring Lutoslawski, Gloria Coates, Rihm, Radulescu, and other contemporary classical masters are in the works...]
Naxos also produces the excellent American Classics series, of which WETA/WGMS-FM appears also to be largely ignorant. Unknown to WETA/WGMS, proud and exciting American conductors (including American conductors of African descent) are at this very moment recording American and contemporary classical orchestral repertoire with excellent orchestras in Kyiv, Kharkov, and Odesa, Ukraine, Future European Union.
