From today's Telegraph :
" I have just uncovered what is unquestionably the worst piece of
classical music ever written. Like many great discoveries, it happened
by accident. I was browsing iTunes and saw an oratorio called “The
Peacemakers”, based on texts by Gandhi, Martin Luther King, the Dalai
Lama, Nelson Mandela and – this I had to read twice – Terry Waite.
It’s by Karl Jenkins, whose harmonic language draws deeply on the
American school of elevator music, and who modestly employs a 1,000-
strong chorus for this work.
That sounds gruesome, I thought, but bravely tapped my mouse. And out
came… well, I’m sure you’re familiar with the phrase: “Oh. My. God.”
Check it out. I dare you."
Here is the dare :
I still vote for the Boulez Piano Sonata 2 and the Martucci 2nd Piano
Concerto and Ustvolskaya's Piano Sonata 6 , among others.
