Wow -- what a tour de force! Great to hear Ms. Keusch -- she's amazing, and this is a great showcase for her. I heard her sing a solo opera by Judith Weir maybe a dozen years ago -- a masterful performance. And Steve Drury... well, he's a cultural treasure. This is the kind of thing that makes me so thankful for TH-cam.
This is amazing... I am honored to know Ms. Keusch personally. She has every bit of the intense energy in this performance as she does in real life! Bravo!
@@jacksmith602 Then you don't know anything about music. Important music (I said Important !) since the beginning of the XXth is dissonant, it is the only music in which the sound itself is the music.
We get a lot of interesting sounds which I think are enjoyable in themselves, and if you focus on them I think you get a sense that the overall thing hangs together somehow, despite the fact that at first it looks like lots of discrete little bits; perhaps the text gives it some larger-scale structure. This kind of music is often about zooming in on and isolating a few fine details of sounds and exploring them without distracting elements. The result is a calm, unvoluptuous kind of beauty, like a wild vegetable cooked alone to perfection, and served without sauce.
It's just about spending some time listening to it, to see if it makes you imagine something. It's also about seeking new ways to make music - wich can be more interesting if you are musician, composer. I know that the composer here has studied years and worked to write this - I don't like the result but I think that it's good they've tried... Of Lachenmann, I've liked more his String Quartet No. 3 "Grido", wich I've listened to, years ago. But more and more, I wonder if composers should work a bit less with music and a bit more to understand the world we live in... Anyway, contemporary music can be more or less experimental: I think here it's the maximum it can get. But with the same musical tools we can get different expressions : ex : funny : th-cam.com/video/K50fENyIARk/w-d-xo.html Tragic and beautifull : th-cam.com/video/vqDykiIJkYY/w-d-xo.html

Remarquable ! Extraordinaires interprètes . J'ai la partition sous les yeux et cela frise la perfection absolue.
Merci!!
Beautiful. Bravo.
wonderful performance and piece!
Compelling to listen, reveals the essence of beauty: unexpected, hidden, omnipresent.
After hearing his spectacularly great performance of the Ives Sonata no. 2 I decided to listen to everything Stephen Drury plays. I'm in love.
Amazing!
Good piece, good performance.
Interesting ...overwhelming ... this is great!
Fantastic piece. Late, BTW, composed in 2008.
Daaaaaamn im high :--------DDDDDDDDDD
Hell yeah!
Somebody explain this to me.
It's Music.
It’s too dissonant. Music still has standards ya know

She appears to be lamenting the loss of her laundry basket from 11:56 onwards - in various different languages!

"Look at the King, Look at the King, Look at the King the King the King" etc (Danny Kaye)
not ordinary music. interesting ...irritating sometimes.....confusing....breaking... demanding
The page turner is the best part of the piece
fffooshshshsh! peeeeep. brrrrrrrrrrrr. zacky zacky zacky. ffffffoooooooooshshshshshshshshshshs. BRRRRR! sh. Bling bling beep beep blingfooosh!
My favorite part is the page-turner.
my wife says thanks -
I don't know :/ I feel she has great skill, but all the 'noises' she makes are just too much. When did this become an art?
Before you were born :)
Not offending here, just saying it's not about "us"
pas convaincant...
Hideous music
This piece is a summation of today's world: sick and demented
Whose a worse composer-poppe or lachenmann?
Go compose some real music , not tuneless crap
Lachenmann: go get another profession: it can't be worse than this
Lachenmann writes crap
anybody with an internet connection can demonstrate their copious free time and ignorance
What an embarrasment
Waste of time and talent
Amazing!
