Advantages: MacGregor's chameleon-like arrangements render every piece interesting, appealing. Disadvantages: She remains in obscurity in the US.
demanded royalties for use of Cage's four-and-a-half minutes of *silence*, a situation I found extremely hilarious for its absurdity about the ownership of silence. (For the story, see end of article for link.)
I myself have been hardly curious about contemporary music--until recently, that is, thanks to the tireless efforts of progressive, innovative, classically-trained (Oxford) British pianist Joanna MacGregor (b. 1959).

In the past I have had trouble with anaemia and so fully expected to be prescibed some form of iron. So, I was rather surprised when I left the surgery with no sign of a prescription whatsover.
