Moments Worth Listening For
The recurring, ascending piano arpeggio in Spiegel im Spiegel that feels like a ladder made of glass.
The sudden, jarring organ entrance in Annum per annum that disrupts the preceding silence.
The descending string lines in Cantus in memory of Benjamin Britten that create a sense of infinite falling.
