| 4.5 superb | Bedex | May 14th 21 |
A fantastic tetrad of piano pieces found by mr budgie thanku. Played Frederic Chiu's recording. This was written between the years 1900 and 1907 per wiki, and that is quite impressive. The intro to 1 is an instant attention grabber and quite fantastic in how broody and calmly thrilling it is. There are short dissonant bursts that are quite cool and impressive for the time, although it ruptures with the soft Debussy Ravel & co. sort of aesthetic, so I like them a touch lses. It really is a dark soundtrack to watch things decay. 2 continues this with perhaps fewer dissonances, and lots of expressive imagery, reminding of Dukas' Apprenti Sorcier a bit. 3 is softer and complentative, which is very nice - however at that stage I felt a bit like the 'goodness shock' of the first track was wearing off, and was looking at a 4.2. But the brooding, wonderfully atmospheric last track brings things back up to a solid 4.3
