		<description> Is that a typo?  Did you mean &#039;tintin-ism&#039;?

/BTW, I suffer from tinnitis, I&#039;d rather have Glass playing in my head than that all day.</description>

		<description>Gotcha.  The difference is that I saw &quot;Mishima&quot; about twenty years ago, so the slate is clean with me, so to speak.  As a three minute piece and far removed from an experience of annoying repetition, it&#039;s a thing of beauty.</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t get my wrong about Glass and his music. Heck, I&#039;ve purchased quite a few of his works on LP in the mid and late 70&#039;s. Including LP&#039;s of &quot;North Star&quot;, &quot;Music in 12 Parts&quot;, And a 2 inch thick Box set complete LP collection of &quot;Eisenstein on the Beach&quot;. I don&#039;t even think there&#039;s a complete version of that on CD publish (no?). ..and even the short lived &quot;New Wave&quot; rock album &quot;Polyrock&quot;. </description>

And check it out, Antinous, it ain&#039;t all that bad, actually those strings are quite damn beautiful, evocative.

EDIT FOR UPDATE:  Antinous, give it another chance, I can&#039;t believe we&#039;re talking about the same thing, this is amazing!</description>

		<description>Michael Barrier, longtime animation historian and writer, who wrote probably the best researched biography of Walt Disney (&quot;The Animated Man: A Life of Walt Disney&quot;) has some comments regarding the opera and the book it&#039;s based on:

http://www.michaelbarrier.com/Home%20Page/WhatsNewArchivesFeb12.html#theimperfect

Short summary: When they say the book is &quot;fictionalized&quot; they ain&#039;t kiddin&#039;. It contains very little insight into the real person of Walt Disney who&#039;s real life was not &quot;unimaginable, alarming and truly frightening.&quot;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The &quot;Mishima&quot; score was performed by the Kronos Quartet&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Are you sure? I thought that one was with full orchestra.

I have the disk laying around here somewhere, but I haven&#039;t listened to it in a long time...

(Off topic, but if you like Kronos, be sure to listen to their performances of Terry Riley&#039;s works (whom, as far as minimalism goes, I prefer to Glass)).</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;More like &quot;Mishima&quot;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Mousehma.

All Phillip Glass joking aside, I once saw Koyaanisqatsi with live orchestral accompaniment, and I enjoyed it a lot.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t want to go Godwin, but when I read &quot;Walt Disney&#039;s last days&quot;, I totally pictured Downfall with a slightly different mustache.</description>

		<description>I see nothing minimalist about non-stop clanging.  It&#039;s more tinnitism than minimalism.</description>

		<description>Not a big fan of minimalism, eh?  Yup, Philip Glass is very touch-and-go, although I really like his &quot;Einstein On The Beach&quot;.

The &quot;Mishima&quot; score was performed by the Kronos Quartet.  Let&#039;s do the same for Disney, but instead of committing seppuku at the end, let&#039;s have Walt jumping into the cryogenic vat, with the legend &quot;The End... For Now&quot;</description>
