What an unbelievable piece and incredible performance. The video and audio work are also stunning. This is a long piece, but at least watch Pillar I and Pillar VII. Very few of you will have heard anything like this before. I know I had not.

I hate Youtube compression. Looking now for a FLAC, or other non-compressed version.
Any ideas ?

Looks like you can get it here (FLAC and other formats)

Yeah I just found that link myself.
Including this one, which is quite frankly a ridiculous price to purchase the score and parts. Same price whether digital or physical.
This is really disappointing to see a composer do this. If you want your music to be performed, you said it at a more reasonable price to make it more accessible.

Ouch.
Not good.

The conductor's score alone is $200!
To put in perspective how overpriced that even is, I went looking for the most expensive edition of a full conductor score for Götterdämmerung, the final part of Wagner's Ring cycle, which takes upwards of 4 AND A HALF HOURS to perform:

There are several other editions where you can get the full score for under $50.

{gulp} Yeah that's a bit spendy, for sure!
