It is the artists' fault. I happen to prefer listening to this to listening to Gaga or whatever shite is on the jukebox. But sniffing at "people who don't understand modern art" doesn't help. People who don't like this may understand perfectly well what is going on and still not like it.
Always entertaining when people who don't understand modern art are convinced it's the artists' fault. Apart from that, thank you for posting this performance. There's precious little on youtube by this composer.
I wonder where you draw the line in needing a conductor. Is a sextet the starting point or can you go down to a trio maybe. There should be a musicians union rule about the ratio of musicians to conductors. Maybe i am being silly, after all it saves you having to count for starters

Kind of a rough recording here. Not even stereo, alas.

In the words of Beethoven (or, more or less)....'these works are not for you (but for those of a later time)'

Different music inspires different things. This inspires to me to want to stuff my ears with cotton.
