Composer of the Day!

Today's Composer of the Day! is Horatiu Radulescu. (1942-2008)


(Apologies for the lack of diacritical marks.)

Radulescu (who died last week) was a Romanian-born composer with ties both to Paris and the Darmstadt school.

His sort of mystical, spectralist approach was distinct from his contemporaries Grise and Murail, but was related in that he was interested in innovative scales and sonorities.

He was also interested in Bhuddism and Romanian folk music. This varied and fascinating confluence of influences made for an unique style of compositions.

Here is some of his music:
