Yes ,absolutely; don't own them myself, but have heard them through the generosity of my library.
It ain't Bartok or Tippett or Sessions or Carter, just a voice of its very own making a buncha "Concertos for Orchestra"
He's a quirky one. But very imaginative. I added the disc to my list, Turfan. Many thanks!;) I've never been a fan of Tippett and Sessions, but I like many of Bartók's works and Carter has always been one of my favourite composers. |

I was only mentioning other well-known composers of Concerti for Orchestra, without value judgment except to say they're very different from Petrassi -- beginning with the fact that he simply went ahead and wrote eight of them. But not ending there.

But not ending there. I wonder why. Did he ever compose a symphony? Alexandre Tansman wrote an entertaining Concerto for Orchestra. I also like the Lutoslawski Concerto. I never cared much for Bernstein's Jubilee Games. |

Here is a piece I'm quite fond of, played by an unlikely-looking person.

I love how he wipes his hands halfway through.

Nice video Richard. Oh, I love Youtube comments more than anything: What a disgusting exit. He obviously wants to make a special show of not enjoying his applause, as if to say, "I don't need this-- I have just performed some discordant bombast, and you can take it leave it." Humorless, graceless, and artless. |

I hope I don't get modded for (1) picture association rather than counting to a million and (2) potentially offensive content. Please be warned: the following contains animal 'shenanigans', but I find it very humorous: http://youtube.com/watch?v=NJCDMCHwAu4 |

And the original of what was subtitled as it's just perfect, perfect and perfect: C'est juste juste, juste, et juste !  (Boris - une pédale. Fin, je voulais dire... C'est pas mal.  ) |
