[silence] unrecorded Cage?

Hello, Josh --

There's a recording of Variations VI, performed in an overlap with 
Variations IV, from a live concert by the Nelly-Boyd-Kreis. The date was 
28 April 2006 and the concert was "in der Christianskirche zu 
Hamburg-Ottensen." If I'm reading the label correctly, it is
Redaktion fur burgerliche Kunstmusik im Freien Sender Kombinant, recording 
CD K 52-2-B. But if Robert Engelbrecht is on the list now, he can give the 
best information about this.

Best wishes,

David M.
