pt “With Julius, he was based in repetition, but here was a spirit of openness and improvisation. His scores, if they were written out that way, were often like jazz scores. He loved multiplying instruments – four pianos, ten cellos – so there was a real feeling of the presence of the instrument, not just using an instrument in some kind of equation, as a means to an end.” ~ Mary Jane Leach

Enough said.

Jeremy Shatan Thank you Frozen Reeds for continuing to elucidate the work of this crucial 20th Century composer. Like Mahler, his time will come - or maybe it is right NOW.
