Let’s talk about her music...
wish I could — haven’t heard her work yet. Marianne Schroeder’s recorded some of the piano works, I’ve always wondered about that disc when I see it in the racks.
can you recommend a recording?
found the alex ross nyt overview from 1995 here, there’s a lot on her online
:(
This is sad, particularly as I’ve been slowly getting into her throughout this year. Her music can be quite difficult in its fierceness.
I don’t know about particular recordings because I haven’t heard enough of them to decide which is better than which, but I like her “Octet” and her “Concerto for piano, string orchestra, & timpani.” Not so much into her piano compositions nor her symphonic works.
:-(
There ws a post or two of talk on ‘real’ ilm’s thread on Radulescu, I think.
About a couple of months back one of the concertos was given a play by the Sinfonietta and the reviewer I read did complain over how fierce it ws, especially the hitting wood block part—not heard that, but I like some other things. A very single-minded composer.
As for the piano works I’ve only heard were the Oleg Malov versions, the work for violin and piano I found it to be a good starting point.
