Just awful. Peter Maxwell Davies has no talent whatsoever.

Thank you for putting this up. I used to listen to this as a student and was always blown away both by the piece itself and by Eastman's amazing performance. It's a while since I heard it but I'm no less impressed.

I like how a bunch of people came here expecting "Songs for a MAD king" to sound nice and pleasant....

Cmon people, it's supposed to be expressive...that doesnt necessarily mean beautiful.

Is this guy taking the piss? I think he is, he's trying to make pretentious people celebrate what is essentially a similar noise to a factory at full capacity playing Cheryl Cole on the radio. I mean, I know he say's that if you don't like his music it's because you're too thick to understand the melody but come on, it's not pleasant to listen to.

I wanted to hear this based solely on Eastman's performance and got quite the pleasant surprise! Thank you for sharing it!

I enjoyed this a lot.

Thanks so much for uploading it.

I did not know British classical music was as close to British rock music as that back in 1969 !

In my channel you can find the JAZZ FUNERAL SYMPHONY video conducted by JOHN CAREWE, longtime collaborator of SIR PETER and his FIRES OF LONDON.

Thumbed-up and favorited !
