Horatiu Radulescu

[Samuel Vriezen]

News just reached me that Romanian-French composer Horatiu Radulescu died last night in Paris. A great loss.

[Steve Layton]

Wow, I guess 66 isn't exactly young, but that's really unexpected! I suppose all the spectralists will be dead before 90% of the U.S. even wakes up to it.

ANABLOG offered up a little writing & listening just a month or two ago:

That's a shock. I really enjoyed his music and went out of my way to check it out.

Rest in peace.

This is sad. Was just beginning to explore his amazing sound world. Have been listening to a few of his string quartets and the Inner Time pieces for clarinets. Fascinating meditations on pure sound.

[Jeff Harrington]

Wow, Dennis turned me onto him about 10 years ago. I've got a lot of his CD's. Oh well, death has its own agenda I guess...

[Mary Jane Leach]

A unique voice gone - what a bummer. His "Inner Time" for clarinets was truly amazing.

[David Beardsley]

Inner Time II was the first piece I heard by him more than thirteen years ago.

A very sad new. He really create a fascinating music world...

[Edward Lawes]

RIP.

I'll have to find that piece for clarinets, only heard a few things by him, that isn't one of them.

James,
Besides the fourth one (recorded by the Ardittis), where can one find recordings of his other quartets?

The radio program, Music from Other Minds ran a performance of Radulecu's Piano Concerto last night (this show can be heard for a week). http://rchrd.com/mfom/wp/
