Description:
a less well-known recording of Carter's great Double Concerto, by the English Chamber Orchestra, Paul Jacobs (harpsichord) and Charles Rosen (piano), under the direction of Frederik Prausnitz. it's obviously not quite as refined as others, but it's also one of the first (the LP was released in 1968). for the best performance check out the one uploaded by GreggaryPeccary.

He is a great composer, but I must confess, most of his music is beyond my comprehension. Listen to the early quartets, repeatedly, and you will realize this man can compose.

May 11, 2012 - 3 dislikes? The piece? The version? I think it works. There´s so much "contemporary" classical out there that I find boring (like Philip Glass and all that stuff that sounds like orchestra tuning their instruments)... but is Carter ever boring? I found his music quite recently...& all I´ve listened so far is really cool...greatest living compoeser? I am sure he will be one the very few names that will repesent music of late 20th century in the future... I wish he lives still anothre 100 years.
