On a high note with composer Peter Eötvös
This week, Hungarian artistEötvös' opera 'Angels in America' makes its L.A. debut, followed by the world premiere of his new concerto, 'DoReMi,' for violinist Midori.The music of Hungarian composer Peter Eötvös isn't "easy" in any conventional sense. A typical Eötvös piece sets the listener adrift through swaths of treacherous soundscapes and shimmering dissonance, usually without the aid of melody.
