Isang Yun: Symphony No. 1 (1982-83), mvt. I 

This is a very impressive score. There is a lot going on here. I really wanted to like this music but it is verbose. It is, for the most part, musical hysteria and I am just too old to appreciate this kind of madness. There is just too much information being thrown at me for me to connect to the musical narrative. I am sure the musicians enjoyed the challenge of making something coherent out of all this twittering and bleating. It almost reminded me of The Pines of Rome without the pines and without the Romans.
