I believe it would be Emilio Pomarico, an excellent conductor from all the work of his I've seen, and, on the other hand, composer of one of the most excruciatingly tedious string quartets I've ever heard.
I must hear this piece!
EmPo (who is indeed an excellent conductor and I think I've seen him from closer than you have) conducted in Berlin, EnPo (who impresses me more and more in that department and refused to be intimidated by the interpretation of his illustrious predecessor) in Budapest.
The gig started with Cosmic Pulses. Now I think this is rather special although a colleague did grump that he'd heard quite a lot of that sort of thing.
Did he/she intimate where and when this might have been? because I must say I haven't heard anything I would regard as even vaguely similar to it.
Oh. No he didn't say where it might have been and I was tempted to defer to his greater experience. (Actually I was tempted to walk away and indeed I did, politely of course, since I didn't want his greater experience interfering with my enjoyment.)
Have you (richard or Tantris or anyone) heard it in its full spatialised glory?
As I said, I'm very much looking forward to
Klang. It's going to be a bit of an uphill battle though since it seems to be difficult for my colleagues or even my better half to listen to with an open mind.
