Album Notes & Community Reviews

A colossal representation of the composer's polystylistic approach, merging disparate historical musical forms into a dense, polyphonic landscape. The recording brilliantly captures the immense scale of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra under the precise baton of Neeme J盲rvi. This avant-garde undertaking remains a cornerstone of late-twentieth-century maximalist orchestral music.
