I decided to explore Tüür's music a little further. While the second symphony seems to me to be quite typical of late Soviet and post- Soviet music, the fourth is more obviously modern. Effectively also a percussion concerto, it is a powerful and often violent work, with less of the more engaging music which also featured in the second. More interesting than enjoyable I think.
Still I like Tüür and I must always have time for any composer whom I have seen live.
