Loads of great pointers on this thread - will have to investigate further!

My own dabblings with listening to 'classical' etc. haven't been that far off the radar over the years, bits of Bartok esp. 'music for strings, percussion and celeste', Stravinski's 'Firebird' are some faves as well as more 'common classical' stuff-

But someone who has blown a hole in my noggin in the past, has been Krzysztof Penderecki - his most known orchestral one being 'Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima' and a great violin concerto (in more recent years) called 'Metamorphosen' - which is very hypnotic /spooky stuff

Lots of other stuff by him which I can't name but loved it when I heard it!

I find a lot of orchestral/classical music to be 'overpowering' - not in a negative sense- just that sometimes it's so fucking powerful I get serious goosebumps (!) probably more so than any 'electric' music across the board -

tread carefully! =8-o
