Death of a Baltic explorer, 74
mainThe Lithuanian composer Anatolijus Šenderovas died suddenly last week.
After embracing his Jewish roots on a Tel Aviv trip in 1990, he changed style to something more Mediterranea.
Martin Anderson, who plans to issues CDs of his concertos and string quartets, describes them as ‘like Szymanowski in the desert’.
It is a romanticised Pärt, rather than a Szymanowski. Admirable piece….. very much in C.
Maybe he will be included in the next edition of ‘Surprised by Beauty’ by Robert Reilly:
