Feb 10, 2012 - Not very relaxed music in this stressfull world, even if it is played by Dutch pianists ...

Feb 10, 2012 - Lindberg would like that comment. I think he listens to life itself as a symphony. : )
MB7classical Says:
Feb 10, 2012 - I guess you could call this agitated music. But you have to relax into it nevertheless, in order at least to bear it. : D

Apr 5, 2012 - Amazing. Would love to see the score. Rhythmically very very rich, not very strongly engaging emotionally to me, but extremely clever music.

Apr 8, 2012 - I would love to see the score too! I'd like to see how much interpretative leeway the performer has.And in regard to emotion, I think Lindberg requires of the listener a certain Zen-like emptiness, wherein he just observes how the music impacts him in the moment. And with me, after listening to Lindberg, I find myself taking this meditative attitude toward reality itself, letting the random sounds I hear impact my nervous system however they might, and observing what results from that impact.

Apr 9, 2012 - That's what I'd call a wise listening attitude, fully open minded, music of certain types seems to bring oneinto special awareness states, perhaps even improving oneselfin the process! :D
MB7classical Says:
Apr 10, 2012 - That's true. You're right. This is a good attitude to take toward any music. And maybe I'm already doing that without even knowing it! It's just that Lindberg's music makes you aware of just how openly you tend to listen.My mind isn't completely open, however! I like a lot of stuff - but still I could write a list of what I don't like. : D
