Classical, modern, neo-classical discoveries
Just a personal thread again, for modern and neo-classical music... everyone is welcome to post their own discoveries; not exclusively for music in the classical tradition, as i didn't want to clog up the classical music forum.

Fantastic
I stumbled upon this one too - the very fact it exists, especially its 'instrumentation' and the straightforward almost romantic lyricism of a good deal of it is all way too cool :-)Originally Posted by Philip
Gag, shudder. There now, I'm over it being on the classical board :-/

My sentiments exactly! I never expected to find this anywhere. Only a few excerpts were released by FZ on a couple of collections he put together before his death.
Fantastic
And thank you for the Messiaen piece. I'll make some time to give the whole work a listen.
Tristan Murail : Désintégrations (1/3)
Bach - Cantata 105: Herr, gehe nicht ins Gericht mit deinem Knecht, BWV 105 (1723)
Erik Satie : VEXATIONS (1893) [Extrait]
(PART 1) Béla Bartók: Cantata Profana (1930)
Not a recent discovery.. posting it for you!
Weir plays Poulenc - Organ Concerto
The album 'To notice such things' by Jon Lord - formerly of the band Deep Purple - has a strong neo-classical flavour (but also in some ways 'Romantic'). Its purely classical (acoustic), he did a number of these towards the end of his life.
I put my thoughts on another thread HERE.
Honest differences are often a healthy sign of progress - Mohandas K. Gandhi.
Daníel Bjarnason - Bow to String: Sorrow Conquers Joy
