I have a huge collection of 20th Century and the most current compositions
and performances of the most modern works...
But Nyman? No! Whew!
Nyman once gave our radio station one of everything he had on CD as of
1997... I played them... but I hated them... and there were a lot of
them. I found none with any redeeming merits...
Go figger.
I love a wide range of music. Glass I like. Werner Henz, Kernis, Del
Tredici, Carter... most opera...
There are just a very few composers who's works I cannot stand... Franck,
Nyman, that guy who wrote Ahmal and the Night Visitors... Tchaikovsky...
makes me shudder.
