Asyla performed by the Esprit Orchestra in Toronto under Alex Pauk. Stunning but very complex. I think this work requires more than a single listening to appreciate fully. I was enthralled but it was all over too quickly before I really got to grips with the musical language. I am strongly motivated to follow this composer more closely.
