This composer has dedicated his work to the study of micro-intervals in a neo-serial approach using quarter-tones and 16th tones. The result is the most extraordinary discord, and must be a nightmare to perform, but in spite of that, it has immense artistic merit. The title in English is "The Break of Noon". The human voice only appears in the last movement, with text by the French poet who was as controversial and strange in character as is this music.
Very interesting. Thank you.

danke!!!
quite good...
his 4th and 6th symphonies are almost certainly less awful. Even my cat has left the room
Perhaps it has "artistic merit" but it's horrible for human beings to hear.
It is horrible reading a comment on this level while listening devotedly to great music! 😠
