I just listened to this for the first time too, though in a live Gergiev performance I found online. The first movement was not quite clear to me as a structure, but then the inferno and quasi-paradiso that follow overwhelmed me with their power and originality. I was even more taken with this work than with his opera Oedipe; you may like to explore his late vocal-orchestral work, Vox Maris, which to my mind is a great visionary work about the spirit of nature, both frightening and transcendent.welkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00495527810915349116noreply@blogger.com
