Reminds me, sometimes, of the incomparable Charles Ives.
btw – has (anyone) heard that symphony 1 by the (rather silly) Austrian extreme Actionist artist Hermann Nitsch (RIP). Glorious
Is that the one subtitled “The Egyptian” (for no discernible reason), @Tim? If so, I’ve listened to it now, and I indeed found it fabulously batty in the tradition of Schnittke’s 1st (which I assume you’re familiar with, and amongst the recorded conductors of which there is…yes, you’ve guessed it: one L. Segerstam.)
…not to mention a potentially infinite one, given that Segerstam’s methodology for putting these works together means that every single performance (recorded or otherwise) would sound utterly unique.
