I loved the intense sonorities of this piece. It’s a very expressive music.

[@tomasjara5717]

I loved the cover-painting. It matches perfectly with the music👌

fabulous music & performance

[@anonymoussource5344]

So freakin’ beautiful!

[@gerardbegni2806]

Do not mix up with "nymphea", for string quartet and electronics.

[@ebonyatropus7367]

Love this sort of dark haunting avant-garde composition!!! Comparable to Alfred Schnittke!!

[@LilianaBellaOfficial]

Also reminds of Shoenberg and Olivier Messiaen

[@DavidA-ps1qr]

@@LilianaBellaOfficial I'm sure the composer will be delighted to hear that her work reminds you of someone else's!!

I identify myself so so much with her aesthetics

[@marcelolasta9509]

Fascinante opus.

[@sabrinaschantz]

3:59 that transition is so good

[@mikekarren5010]

No comments? I'm curious to learn what other listeners think of this? My ears don't like it much. I'll try some of her other works before I form my opinion.

[@renemayoral]

try Sept Papillons =)

[@nicholas72611]

I would try he Operas L'amour de Loin and La passion de Simone and also her Violin Concerto Graal Theatre.
This is expressive music, it's not a happy-sad dichotomy. There is ugliness, beauty and anything in between. It's up to you to find a story in the notes.

[@timmelville6683]

@@nicholas72611 Her score for L'amour de Loin is insanely good.

[@nicholas72611]

​@@timmelville6683 I was gonna make a score-video for it but it's so insanely huge!!! Honestly one of the few times I'd consider a piano reduction. Too bad I don't have one.

[@Dan474834]

It's crap.

[@classic-intronet3498]

Avec les coupures de pub, ça devient inécoutable !!! Aucun respect pour le compositeur ni l'auditeur !

[@maxence4045]

Le compositeur et les auditeurs n'ont rien à se voir avec ces coupures de pubs! Présentez vos excuses au plus vite svp

[@classic-intronet3498]

@@maxence4045 Il y a un moyen d'écouter cela dans de bonnes conditions, c'est de télécharger la vidéo (les pubs ne sont pas téléchargées). Pour cela, j'utilise un logiciel gratuit qui s'appelle Free RUclips Download. Bonne écoute !

I prefer quartet

[@Levoyagelyrique83]

People call this music :(

[@Marianofortepiano]

"J'aime bien, c'est un peu faux". Ah ben non, j'aime pas :D

[@teresacillo486]

No advierto la "reflexión"

[@ludwigvanbeethoven61]

Legend say one violin survived. Where is the music in it?

[@Alix777.]

Go back to Beethoven and other crap

[@nectarinedreams7208]

Where isn't the music in it?

[@AAK1954]

Nice piece; nothing new. Wagner inside.
