Korla Pandit wasn’t from India, though he maintained the imposture for decades. He was a light-skinned African-American man from St. Louis. TIL he was friends with actually-Indian Sabu the Elephant Boy. What do you think they talked about?
Sabu is the subject of “Sabu Visits the Twin Cities Alone”, absolutely my favorite John Prine song.
The piece the Arditti String Quartet are playing: is it good? Or does it just seem good, because it’s the Arditti playing it? Anything they play sounds amazing. Regardless: best Webern disc, endlessly replayable. (Their Elliott Carter disc on Montaigne is also the best Carter disc.)
