DDT wasn't at BU very long (a short stint after Harvard, and he was commuting from NYC at the time), so other than a few classmates I don't know many others who studied with him. He has a larger-than-life personality that quite matches his compositions - he could be bitingly sarcastic in his criticism, but warmly enthusiastic on those few occasions when he actually liked what I brought to a lesson. And he could be really funny.
I have the Solti LP of Final Alice (one of the few Solti recordings I actually listen to), and I recall a live performance from the BSO while I was in school there (that was much more entertaining than the recording, including a "test" of the bullhorn before singing into it).
I've always wanted to hear the second half of Child Alice. I've heard "In Memory of a Summer Day" both live and on the Nonesuch LP; I'm always disappointed at the end of the LP as it's waiting to segue into something that isn't there. I can't wait to hear this new full recording.
