What do you think of this?
Now i've only listened to a few minutes so far, but I've got to say that this seems way more my kind of thing than what I'm usually getting. Very beautiful. I don't have the musical language to figure out what makes the difference between the classical styles I like, and the ones I don't. All I know is that, like Berg, this gets a big thumbs up.
