      Yeah, or 29, depending on what one counts. I attended the “premiere” of one of them at Royce Hall — and it wasn’t finished!

      Have little respect for him.

    Let’s hope it will not be as boring and monotone as “Akhnaten”

      Watching Akhenaten (twice) changed my life. I’d never heard of him, and now I’ve listened to hundreds of hours of his very wide repertoire. I’m sorry you didn’t have a similar experience.

      I understand your point, but imagine number of people not into classical who came to it because of this kind of work, little easier than Boulez, but who will stand at end of fight?……

      Yes: even his own cat can’t stand it anymore and slams the keyboard lid right on the man’s hands.

    What a sickeningly horrible year for Sweden – first the deadly virus and now this!
