  • I would like to ...

    I would like to hear Dichotomie but I could not find it on YouTube. I wanna find out how it evolved into this orchestra work. Thanks for posting this btw. Also thanks a lot for posting Rite of Spring - the performance is more exciting on video than just audio.

  • The opening ...

    The opening measures remind me of the opening of Adams' Harmonielehre... BTW if you like this piece you should also hear his piano piece Dichotomie which was the basis for it. ;)

  • The beginning ...

    The beginning reminds me of Lutoslawski's Concerto for Orchestra...the colors and the virtuosic flourishes,& the quick violin solo. Right after, the stuttering repetitive sections & lush parts sound more like John Adams to me (rhythms, chords & orchestration).

    This is a High Octane piece and I hope that i makes its way into the standard rep.. He really is quite a good writer for the orchestra. Its along the lines of a Concerto for Orchestra style piece.
