Alfred Schnittke: Gogol Suite; Labyrinths

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Schnittke's Gogol Suite (1976) is a collection of eight very short movements lasting between one and eight minutes. They're quirky and fun. Essentially, they're experiments in collage techniques and they take their sources from Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, and Schnittke's own temperament. (They will remind you of some of Shostakovich's writing for The Bolt and The Gadfly.) Labyrinths (1971) is a five-part ballet score for a ballet that never emerged. One can hardly see this as a ballet. Parts of it suggest Japanese No theatre, other parts stand on their own, nightmarish as they are. Unusual music. --Paul Cook
