New Found Glory

You guys! One of Magnus Lindberg's early works (that would be: Kraft) requires the percussionists to pick out materials for the performance from a local junkyard. (That way every performance is unique and locally-based, see.) So here it is - percussionists of the NYPO finding their instruments:



I wish this was an everyday occurrence. Although maybe with an expanded hunting-ground; I don't spend much time hanging out in junkyards.

("Kraft" would be such a great piece to hear live...in the meantime, there's always NAXOS.)

  1. I love Magnus Lindberg!!! Alex Freeman introduced me to his music back then. His stuffs are wonderful!!

    Apparently he compose like Elliot Carter, as in he'll tape his manuscripts all around the room, so he could see the big picture.
