Contemporary Classical Composers - new discoveries
I’ll start with my most recent discovery…Valentin Silvestrov. I’ve been going thru some of this Ukrainian composer’s work and I have to say I’m impressed.
Highly recommend to check out the following albums a starting point…
What are some of your favorites?
One of the great Aminadav Aloni's religious oratorios which has a lifetime of jazz and classical compositional attributes (mostly in English and some Hebrew) with LAJS (LA Phil/studio/amateur orchestra members) Kohelet (the Book of Ecclesiastes) by Ami Aloni (youtube.com)

@mahgister Love the Reindeer Variations, appreciate the Water Concerto but the I do not appreciate the Buddha Passion (opposite of what I want to hear). The soprano wordless "singing" is incoherent to me and the orchestra makes some nauseating sounds. This is my opinion, not a fact. I listened to nearly all of it so I gave it a chance. I love Bollywood musicals but not Indian operas where the singing apparently includes the tones between Western notes. What to you think about the Maria Newman work? Apparently, my Lucas Richman piece did not get posted. Here it is: TYRL3428TH (youtube.com) (from 20:40).@ |
