  3. Olga Neuwirth -- ....miramondo multiplo... -- Håkan Hardenberger, NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra conducted by Alan Gilbert

    Here's a trumpet concerto by Olga Neuwirth, an Austrian contemporary classical composer.

    It's divided into five movements or arias, and is full of references to other pieces of music by Bach, Mahler, Miles Davis...I picked up a couple of those but missed many more, I'm sure. I wonder if a work of art that plays off or refers to another work or works fails in some respects if it cannot also stand on its own for the uniformed listener, viewer, or reader. Think, for example, of Picasso's 1954/55 series of paintings and drawings "Les Femmes d'Alger", which draws on Delacroix's " Femmes d'Alger dans leur appartement". I'm sure there have been viewers who have enjoyed looking at the former without being aware of the source that inspired Picasso - and there is nothing wrong with that, even if other more informed viwers have a ricer experience.!

    I've listened to the piece three times and I'm not sure if I like it that much - with the exception of the fourth aria, which is lyrical,magical and otherworldly, without falling into beauty spa music cheesiness. That movement starts at 11:37 and could be a stand alone piece.
