Why doesn't Elliot Carter get the recognition he deserves?
NEW MUSIC
Ligeti, Messiaen, Penderecki and so on.
There doesn't seem to be much by way of Neue Musik in the archived threads. Shall we get one going on this contemporary niche?
Comments/sugg'ns re literature, interpretations or just stuff from bookmark files etc. are all welcome. A first post will follow shortly.

Elli-ot, Elli-ot, ... - Say, wasn't that ET's little friend? Carter ex.'s -- Symphonia/Clarinet Concerto, GRA f. B flat clarinet, Sonata f. Cello |
Ligeti. 1st and 2nd String Quartets Schnittke. 1-6 Concerto Grosso; 1-8 Symphony; Piano Quintet and Piano Trio Webern: all the instrumental pieces; the lied are very hard to take (hard to believe but some of his works are almost 100years old now!) Berg: if you like opera try Wozzeck; Lulu is ok Bartok: his six string quartets IMHO are the creme de creme of the 20th century, some are more freely chromatic than others A. Part: highly emotive mystical tone poems What do you think of Philip Glass? I am not sure if I do but I have his Glassworks CD. Reminds of a repetitive 3 chords garage band song. Over and Over and Over....... BTW: I can only play most Modern Music when my wife is away. She hates the stuff. She says if she had to listen to it she would kill herself in about an hour..... |
