Thanks for the link to the production of Un re in Ascolta...saw it in London (ENO) back in the day ... it will be good to get another listen...
...since the 50's and Kraft's recording of the Webern orchestration (I think there were some Stokowski like orchestral versions too) it has become reasonably commonplace to perform the 6 voice Ricercar...but in the 60's (10 years after that recording) you were still warned that that piece was unplayable and unplayed...I guess you can find one or two recorded piano versions prior to Rosen's ... anyway...too bad that W didn't get around to dealing with some of the other pieces...I think there is more sense to be made of them ...
