Erkki-Sven Tüür's second symphony was an almost random choice courtesy of my ipod. I admit I forgot I owned it, but it really is am impressive piece of music. A short, violent first movement resolves itself into calm and beautiful music. The much longer second and concluding movement seems to be constantly striving towards simpler, modal music, based on plainchant.
I listened twice. This really is very good music.
