In case I get cynical about certain kinds of music again, I should remember to listen to that Lutoslawski quartet.
I put it on this morning thinking thinking it might be unlistenable now, since I'm not so enamored with modern compositional "tricks" and concepts. Without all that, I worried it would sound empty to me.
turns out it is still achingly beautiful. and note-for-note perfect.
I'm betting I'd feel the same way about Gorecki if I put it on.
I guess a few bad apples spoil the bunch, sometimes.
hm.
