This girl can sing and her voice is wonderful. This is probably the best Lied der Lulu I've heard yet.

@Mazarbul The last but not the least is that there are really no rules in music. There can be only some vague SUBJECTIVE CONTEXTUAL aesthetic rules that depend on the artist and can be very different. As John Cage showed us every sound and every combination of sounds can be defined as beautiful. Music, by the way, is nothing but a number of proportions and successions of pitches and timbres on a timeline.

@Mazarbul I would also like to say that personally I enjoy Berg and Webern much more than, say, Bach or Mozart. I used to listen only to Mozart and it seemed to me that this music lacked some qualities that I adore, so I made some research and stumbled upon Webern. This music had all the qualities that I had been trying to find. Actually atonality is not a new thing: Carlo Gesualdo, for instance, is atonal in the very formal understanding of this term and even dissonant in some cases.

@Mazarbul It really saddens me that some people tell me that some music that I enjoy is not music. You see many positive comments that express genuine admiration for this video and still you decide to write that this is not music.Strangely enough that thing happens almost in any "avantgarde" shoutbox even if a composer is not well-known. Moreover, people in the internet who blame "avantgarde" are very persistent in what they do as if there is a competition between "traditional" and "new" music.

Splendid.

[Mazarbul]

@ThoughtsofaPerson That's a little too general as for a definition, isn't it. Don't you have a better dictionary? One has to define "organised" as well, since there definitely are different levels of organisation.

Not only is she one of the best female singers of today, you can tell she actually enjoys this as well! Fantastic voice!
