Now I know what Danny Elfman used to listen to when he was young.

I LOVE THE HARPSICHORD HERE!

when this was composed?

[RaRaLandEQ]

Schnittke, we hardly knew ye! Cannot believe these people have to die before their genius is truly recognised. Thank the heavens that Gubaidulina, Penderecki, Pärt, Gorecki and others are still living legends, changing our concepts of what a masterful composition can be. Like them or not, they are at the forefront of revolution in these past 50years. R.I.P. Alfred Schnittke

[StoneChords]

All true, sadly though, minus Gorecki.

[RaRaLandEQ]

@StoneChords Meh.. Everybody has different tastes..... thank generic deity

[StoneChords]

@RaRaLandEQ You misunderstood. I wasn't questioning Gorecki's quality, only that he was no longer living, per your comment "thank ... are still living legends."

[RaRaLandEQ]

@StoneChords I did misunderstand, at the time, having only found out about his demise shortly after.

Whatever anyone chooses to believe, I hope they are all in a better place. Dona eis requiem.

@RaRaLandEQ Easily settled: we're on the same page now.
