That was the one I meant, yes.
I love the story that Rodrigo's famous
concerto theme was written whilst
waiting for his wife to give birth. What a buzz!
And which concerto is that? Because his most famous concerto(?) is the
Aranjuez concerto and the theme of it is actually a melody played by bells
on this huge central clock every noon in the town of Aranjuez... BTW, perhaps I was not paying attention but I _think_
nobody
mentioned SPK, Throbbing Gristle, Francis Dhomont...
I preferred Chris'n'Cosey, Treatment, Test Dept and Nurse with Wound myself
I'd also add John Adams' 'Grand Pianola Music' and almost anything
involving
Holger Czukay and Ashkenazy's interpretations of Rachmaninov.
I'm also fast becoming a fan of Ico Bukvic's music, I found his '1st
Quartet'
and 'Nebulae' particularly moving.
Actually also come to think of it:
Philip Khoutev's approach to Bulgarian Harmony
Ivo Papsov's Bulgarian Wedding Band
Stockhausen's 'Ceylon/Bird of Passage' - strangely listenable
William Walton's 'Belshazzar's Feast' - magnificent
Motorhead's 'No Sleep till Hammersmith' - now that's what I call funk!
And that's just the highbrow stuff
