Oooh! Oooh! As you know, I was a big fan of the Deep Minimalism version of Still Point, so I can’t wait to listen to the “proper” one…!

…and now I have. Wow – most definitely “rightly…the world première”! Broad outline and the odd motif aside, you wouldn’t know it was the same piece as the DM version, the involvement of many of the same performers notwithstanding. Still the product of precocious genius, though. And, let’s face it, the comparably youthfully innovative Symphonie Fantastique scarcely makes much more formal and stylistic sense!
