Hello Andrew, As of the author of the pictures @ DowntownMusic.Net, I can tell that these are two new Zorn's classical pieces, which wee premiered at Tonic last month. The first one (Goetia) is a suite for solo violin. The second (Necronomicon) is a string quartet. Both supposed to be "inspired by alchemy and black magic". Don't really know what should mean, but anyway both pieces are quite nice, however in my opinion are not very special or breathtaking. In addition to that, here is the quote from Bruce Lee Gallanter of Downtown Music Gallery from his extensive Zorn's birthday festival review: "The final Sunday featured "Goetia" for solo violin performed by Jennifer Choi and this was another dynamic display of Jenny's incredible playing and Zorn's difficult music. The final work was the as yet unrecorded Zorn masterwork "Necronomicon" for string quartet, which was an immensely powerful work and perhaps Zorn's finest classical work yet. The first and last movements of this piece intense and quick moving, the mid movements slower, more lyrical and completely enchanting. Let's hope that John records this piece soon, so everyone can hear it." Hope it helped. -- All the best, Peter Gannushkin URL: http://downtownmusic.net/ Monday, October 13, 2003, you wrote to me: AF> just wondering if anyone knows much about "John Zorn's Goetia & AF> Necronomicon"?
