Yes the orchestral music I have heard ...Thanks Eye!<br />Yes the orchestral music I have heard of his does not quite have the same style. But there is a great deal of his music I have not heard at all so I don't know what the rest is like. These quartets are excellent, I agree. He also wrote a great book called "The Tuning of the World".<br />Thks again for chiming in,<br />GregoGrego Applegate Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06188040049179872295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649153160602115554.post-17670719749844993102013-07-14T08:57:22.068-07:002013-07-14T08:57:22.068-07:00I deleted this one only because it was posted twic...I deleted this one only because it was posted twice...and I accidentally put them both on...<br />GGrego Applegate Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06188040049179872295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649153160602115554.post-76888511601842954552013-07-11T20:22:38.375-07:002013-07-11T20:22:38.375-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649153160602115554.post-84289170710812040382013-07-11T20:21:14.880-07:002013-07-11T20:21:14.880-07:00I recently came across Schafer's quartets by a...I recently came across Schafer's quartets by accident. I don't know a lot about modern chamber music, but they seem to start from Shostakovich and work forward (not a bad place to start). Reminiscent of Schnittke on occasion. This seems to be an excellent series of works with a consistently high level of inspiration. The only odd thing is that what I've heard of his orchestral work does not seem to be in quite the same style... The quartets certainly ought to be heard - they are really great stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
