Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
DF-D kept asking Britten to write a Lear for him - like an Anna Karenina for Visnnest ... Vishnetskay ... Mrs Rostropovich; never to be, alas.
But young Aribert didn't do a bad job at all!
His Medea ain't bad, either:

The title piece (composed 2009) is a large, brilliantly dramatic & inventive piano concerto, over 30' long, with the second movement sounding like a snaking, explosive passacaglia on a piano theme of 40 notes!
When I first saw it listed on Qobuz, I was drawn by the titling "Blank Reflecting Black"... any curious cat wants to know about that, right?
Pretty avant-garde in feel and sound, yet there's a flow, a musical current to both large movements that really keeps you gripped...
Highly recommended to the adventurous....

Ferney, there's a very good 2CD set on CPO of works by Volkmann here https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/cpo/detail/...e/hnum/6019596 - it's well worth a listen! This is also a very good disc: https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/cpo/detail/...5/hnum/5824830
Happy listening...Best regards,
Jonathan

Volkmann is completely overlooked and a fine composer, I've heard about 7 or 8 of his works and none of them could be called weak in any way. Much like Kalliwoda, a near contemporary, much of whose music I've heard is of really high quality and in same cases IMO much finer than better known works of the time.

The Volkmann Quartet linked above really is a find.
One of the joys of the modern so called age is to find a piece like that to hear, and a score to follow at the click of a mouse.
