I had never heard of this composer before, but I like his music.
Some amazing art comes from suffering.
Not that anyone should have to go through such suffering, but there you go.
A few years ago, I featured the entire Quartet for the End of Time, movement by movement, at the Canteen. It’s an amazing piece of music, and I have the score sitting on my shelf. They’re programming it this summer at the Seattle Chamber Music Festival.
