This is a great, cinematic, subtly modern piece. Without resorting to dissonance, or extreme repetition, or any of the other themes that underpin modern 'classical', this one has very moderate Reichness repetitivity and not much else - just enough for you to know it was not written in 1750, but not in your face too much. There is a lot of emotional dynamism at play here, hence my qualifying it of rather 'cinematic'. My two only gripes are that some of the more intense, aggressive sections feel like they want to resolve into an enthralling Rite of Springesque riff that does not happen, and that the middle act is a bit less engaging than the bookends due to its sadder, more evil, quieter tone. Still a great piece that I really might well rejam. 3.9
