Auerbach - Prelude No. 24 in D minor

Prelude No. 24 in D minor from Twenty-Four Preludes Op. 41

Lera Auerbach (b. 1973) is an acclaimed Russian poet, pianist, and composer. She was a child prodigy, performing as a soloist as early as eight years old and even composed an opera at twelve. Although she was born in Russia, she emigrated to the United States and studied piano and composition (with Milton Babbitt) at Julliard. She is a prolific composer and her musical language is characterized by a mixture of tonal and atonal writing. Her music straddles both romanticism and modernism, and is influenced by Scriabin, Shostakovich, and Schnittke. While many of her works have not been recorded, those that have reveal her penchant for creating a decidedly grim, melancholy, and pessimistic sound world.

I feel sick! Like I've been chased through the woods late at night and it all ended horribly. Brilliantly played.
