i am listening to the album piano concerto by Alfred Schnittke

(schnittke is a pretty good dude if you want to get into 20th century stuff after the modernist period that's relatively accessible)

pretty good rendition of Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues though rzewski's own recording is the best one still imo

it's a sick piece, rzewski was a hardcore leftie so it's thematically about workers in a factory hence the blues bit in the middle section getting chopped up near the finale

Michelangeli is one of the weirdest weirdos to have been a famous pianist and that's a crowded field but he could do a mean Debussy's Images.
