Beautifully done. Very warmly recommended.

This stylish, devoted, two-hundred-plus-page book is based around a deep, fascinating interview, covering the work in detail, but with naturalness and directness; also Radigue’s life, milieux, aesthetics and methods, politics, and so on. There are numerous choice photos; a few precious sketches, flyers and diagrams. The oeuvre is listed, with commentaries. All texts are in both English and French, beginning with her prose poem The Mysterious Power of the Infinitesimal. Pretty much indispensable, if you’re at all interested.

‘Eliane Radigue and I decided to resume our conversation and come up with this expanded second edition of the book. Much had happened since the first edition that deserved to be explored in more depth, in particular the development of the Occam Ocean cycle. But I also took the opportunity to ask her questions about her earlier work that had not been addressed previously. The first four parts of this new edition remain unchanged, but they are now followed by an epilogue. The lists of works and publications have also been updated and extended’ (Julia Eckhardt, December 2023).

Love You Madly is a behind-the-scenes profile, including various interviews, and performance footage recorded in Basin St. West Jazz Club, at the 1965 Monterey Jazz Festival, and at the first Concert of Sacred Music in Grace Cathedral. Ellington reckoned it ‘the best film about Duke Ellington ever made.’
Recorded on September 16, 1965, A Concert of Sacred Music more fully commemorates the first of the three evening performances at Grace Cathedral between 1965 and 1973, combining classical, jazz, spirituals, gospel, blues music, and dance.
