The 6-hour 24-minute continuous performance of the Young and Zazeela

Young 30-Year Retrospective presented by MELA Foundation in New York
City. Encoded to a single 401 minute DVD for non-stop play. First Limited Edition of 240 copies, in a "super jewel box" style DVD case with a magazine-size booklet, now available at a new lower price.
This is some of the best and deepest Just Intonation music available.
"The Well-Tuned Piano marks a turning point, of sorts, in contemporary
music. A hearing of the piece is like being there for the premiere of
Beethoven's Ninth Symphony or more recently, Stravinsky's The Rite of
Spring. The composition has the potential for changing the way people
think about music. It's unlike anything you've heard before"
