Powerful and somehow discomforting, yes. And fascinating at the same time. Not a music, though, I'd like to listen to, all day. Dinner in the garden, later a beer on the balcony by candlelight, a good chat, bats flitting by in the darkness - yes, it was a beautiful Sunday evening. Thank you.
Goodness me I didn't expect Schnittke to pop up on SNM! He is actually one of my favourite composers but sometimes I find his polystylistics hard to take in. Having said that sometimes it really works I love 'concerto for piano and strings'.
Powerful - and somehow discomforting. I hope you find some cool relief this evening.

ReplyDeleteAh, lovely, Mark!
DeleteClicking on the Label "Schnittke" you will find some surprises more.
Oh yes, I remember now, some of the vocal gymnastics reminded me of Ligeti.
