Notes
Content: Compilation of two performances by Kenneth King and Charles Weidman with their respective companies. King: Three works, probably recorded in April 1973 at the Exchange Theater for the Arts, New York. Weidman: Excerpt from Bach's St. Matthew Passion, possibly recorded in 1973 at Spencer Memorial Church, Brooklyn, New York. A complete recording of this work is on *MGZIC 7-83 Bach's St. Matthew Passion; although the location seems to be the same, the women's costumes are different.
