I've only listened to Threnody, which is amazing.  I need to hear some more stuff from this composer.

You introduced him to me a year or so ago. I've heard some of these, but will go through all of the youtube links.
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

That Don Cherry/Penderecki LP, Actions is it? Unfortunately I think its largely an unfocused, unlistenable mess, even by Don's standard (which I consider to have one of the most uneven discographies in jazz).


That's the one, I've not heard it in some time.

Do you have any suggestions on say three discs to start with? Or is that covered in the rym list you spoke of? I'd be interested in some of the vocal stuff. I've been listening to a considerable amount of Opera recently (from my two favourite composers); if they can even be call opera's anymore...

That's one hell of a collection (Next logical purchase should be Matrix 17)

I guess you voted for Threnody? Hard not to.

Find a fly and eat his eye

Certainly a chap I've wanted to delve into for a while, but have not. Only thing I've got is that LP he did with Don Cherry (& The New Eternal Rhythm Orchestra), which wouldn't be representative of his work as such. Will be spending a bit of time on youtube tonight, methinks.

I am into him bigtime these days. Its the horror and beauty of his early, cutting edge modernist works that speaks to me the most and loudest. I made this list of my favorite compositions so far, over at RYM. But I made it to get reccomendations, and maybe some kind of interesting discussion going. I'm hoping it could work as some sort of guide as well.

Sometimes these things works better on PA's board.

I've only been a real fan of this genius a couple of years, so its neither an expert-or a complete list. Links to all compostitons, but three.
