Epic! Awesome!
Which recent, including living, composers can be described as having a natural feel for the grand, the majestic, and the powerful?

Re: Epic! Awesome!
I'm sorry, but it sounds like the track music for a remake of North by Northwest. It is not the only Lindberg piece I have heard (I actually heard a live premiere of something or other at the NY Philharmonic), and I just don't get the point. However, not to pick on him or Martin unduly, I think the main problem is that Dulcinea's question is a case of barking up the wrong tree. Epic and awesome are not necessarily desirable or even possible features of successful newer music.hangos wrote:Try Magnus Lindberg!

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
