Interesting choice.
I expect more upbeat selections from you Pokemonn

That said, this is a very powerful piece IMO.


I prefer soft and gentle sounding.
My most favorite modern classical tune is Pärt's Spiegel im Spiegel.

I only know the Cello concerto and Symphony 9 of Aho.
 
I will look and listen!

 
Try the disc of his 3rd symphony that includes his orch. arrangement of Musso's Songs and Dances of Death. Great disc, not the least b/c Salminen is the bass you get.

Try this disc if you'd like another interpretation of it; other good things on there:

I am a big fan of Ligeti. I have listen to to the Sony recordings countless times. He and Bartok have to be my favorite 20th century classical composers. I must have been Hungarian in a previous life.
