Lindsay Cooper
'Oh Moscow'
Imola, Italy
Rocca Sforzesca
17 July 1990


One from the archives. Here's celebrating the great great and VERY dearly missed Lindsay Cooper.
2016 will bring a brand new recording of this true masterpiece of hers, OH MOSCOW. Do join the crowdfounding initiative!
The recording here, less than perfect in sound, is from the only (so far!) complete performance of the program in Italy, back in 1990.
Enjoy, and remember!
