note: To make up for the slow week. It’s various modern pieces that I’ve been listening a lot lately. I can only describe the performances as scandalously magnificent. Tho’ I suspect I am getting a little partial and not exploring as wide as I should. I love Argerich’s style dammit. At any rate, a small modern list. A return to first reason why I am posting for MdM. My fantasy is to explore cutting edge music and put it together in a way that breaks the boundary. Well, if nothing else MdM is still about few people exchanging note and comment about music that tickles ones imagination. Enjoy.

PS. There are 2 files in .flac format. The Debussy might be more acessible han the webern, but they are great just the same.
