Which works of the late Mark Osborn and how did you come about them? |

CD - 'Vinculum Substantiale' and 'The Fragile Vial'. Came across them through another poster in this board.
Been checking out some more Bussotti as posted on ANABlog - "O Atti Vocali", especially, is tremendous.

Scelsi: Yamaon
I think this is brilliant if a little odd.

Thanks xyzzz_. That's inspired me to download the latest offerings from the Avant-Garde Project! |

No problem - actually don't hang round there as often as I'd like.
This morning - music by Younghi Pagh-Paan.

I'm now listening to Ilhan Mimaroglu's stuff. Downloaded it a while ago, but only just got around to listening to it.
Not sure what I think yet.
Re: Bussotti, I was in the RAM's library last week and had the opportunity of looking at more scores than I've ever seen by him.
As I've said before, I really think that the time is right for a UK retrospective.
Re:AGP, just imagine a late night slot on Radio 3 for 'The Avant-Garde Project' presented by Robert Worby (probably) - that would be a Good Thing.

Don't forget to download "The World of Harry Partch", containing the later recording of Daphne of the Dunes (originally entitled Windsong), HP's most beautiful piece IMO.

That adapted viola melody gives me the creeps a little. It's just a little bit too sickly IMO.
I much prefer And On The Seventh Day personally.

I like that melody... but it's one of those pieces I heard at an impressionable age (though, come to think of it, it would be pretty weird and boring to be at a non-impressionable age; anyway I suppose I would have been 15 or so) and which has stayed with me ever since. The same goes to a lesser extent for the other two pieces on the record. I do like Delusion of the Fury a lot, but I have the impression I'm missing something important by not being able to see the dance and mime aspects of it. Now spinning here, however, is Schoenberg's Herzgewächse (Schäfer/Boulez). Shame it's so tantalisingly short. |

Listening to Bussotti: Bergkristall, Lorenzaccio, Le Bal Miro and O Atti Vocali.
Having listened to the first two and being in the middle of the third, my main concern is that they sound a little alike.
Are my ears really done in?
Might explore this with a Bussotti thread on the 20th Century board later.

Bergkristall is several times the length of the Lorenzaacio Symphony (actually a suite taken from an opera) and, as I remember, is much more eventful and tends more towards sounding like a skeleton of romantic music overlaid with several layers of atonal texture (one of its movements actually consists of the same music played several times with different layers "missing" each time). I did find the Lorenzaccio piece a little underwhelming in comparison. The Rara Requiem however is wonderful, I think.
