Chain I
Someone on Youtube put up a video of a performance from one of my favorite composers conducting his own work. Lutoslawski here is the original bad boy of 20th century Polish music, deeply influential on Penderecki, Gorecki, and any number of post-Soviet composers in general (early Part, Gubaidulina, others). He's also been appropriated by movie music a lot (typically for horror and action stuff - Don Davis' scores for the Matrix trilogy are basically Lutoslawski at their core).
Anyways, this is a really good performance too, and it's interesting to see how this stuff is conducted - especially if you know what his scores look like. I really wish Youtube had more like this...
