Glad to see someone else voted for this!
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Friday, 30 January 2015 03:02 (nine years ago) link
Intrigued about that Ferneyhough set. 3 CDs of Ferneyhough still sounds hardcore to me but it IS Arditti.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Friday, 30 January 2015 03:04 (nine years ago) link
Not gonna lie, the Ferneyhough IS hardcore, but the Arditti performances (their second studio recordings of all but the most recent of these pieces) have all the sweep and nuance you could hope for. Try the String Trio (not the little Streichtrio, which doesn't amount to much). The whole album is on Spotify; I'm guessing Youtubes are likely to be earlier recordings.
