ejp626 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 This just came to my attention -- Spooky Actions playing a quasi-improvised version of Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time. I'm sure it's at the usual suspects. Here it is on CD Baby: Spooky I'll most likely get it via eMusic. The idea is at least intriguing, though I don't know how much I will like it. Execution is everything. I did like Crossing Brooklyn Ferry by Stephane Furic, which was half jazz-half classical. I can't recall what was being improvised upon but probably something by Aaron Copland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that sounds sort of interesting, but may depart too much from Messiaen to be of much interest to me. From what I heard in the sound clips, this other group is much closer to Quartet for the End of Time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 It's entertaining enough to warrant a listen on Spotify.They do something similar for Schoenberg Op. 23, also on spotters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
