Gavin Bryars, Philip Jeck, and Alter Ego - The Sinking Of The Titanic

i first heard the original 1969 Bryars piece 10 years ago and was simply floored by the emotion this music caused in me.....having just been introduce to the sheer genius of Philip Jeck i found out that the two had gotten together with the Italian ensemble Alter Ego to do a live recording of this amazing piece of music.....the use of turn table electronics really adds to the emotion eeriness....creating unmistakeable feelings of ice and sinking....seriously this needs to heard to be truly appreciated....one of my favorite modern classical pieces
