Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as a prime document of Schnittke's polystylistic method, this release starkly juxtaposes baroque forms against aggressive, modernist serialism. The terrifying dissonance and profound suspense of the compositions reflect the intense psychological strain of late-Soviet classical expressionism.
