A lively afternoon with orchestral violence from the 20th century. This episode of Listen! will begin with provocative dissonances that evoke pre-Christian Russia and ends with an ordered chaos full of dissonant and pounding sounds. In short, it features stylized roughness instead of melodiousness. May the Listener be warned!
