Described by the Boston Globe as "Thrilling" "Brilliant" and "Intrepid", this concert footage comes from Boston's self-conducted chamber orchestra, A FAR CRY's 2009-10 season opener, "The Lunatic" at the inimitable Jordan Hall inside New England Conservatory. Alfred Schnittke's haunting first Concerto Grosso for 2 violins, harpsichord, prepared piano and 21 strings was performed on the night before Holloween. A Far Cry is joined by the Uh-Mazing violinists, Nelson Lee & Meg Freivogel of the decorated Jupiter Quartet as soloists, along with Andrus Madsen pulling a double guest duty on harpsichord & prepared piano. Filmed live on October 30th, 2009 & edited by Simon C. Yue for A Far Cry. To view this performance in its entirety, click here: http://vimeo.com/14901472

  • I SO wish this guy were still alive and creating more music like this today...

  • Гениальная музыка!!!! Спасибо!

  • The eclectic style of Schnittke is perhaps the reason why his music is worth listening.

    In my opinion he is one of very few modern composers whose music is not just about cacophony but about human emotionality in its variety and richness.

  • Beyond incredible!

  • Buen compositor

  • This is amazing, I had just listened to this in its entirety, what a man, now thats what I call modern music, his hybridization of all things avant garde and traditional makes it great to listen to.

  • what are you doing to my cerebral cortex Schnittke :O

  • This is the first time I've ever heard from Schnittke but it is just one word I can describe it: genious.
