The Symphonies of Wilhelm Georg Berger (1929 - 1993) are very intense, captivating works indeed and a huge thanks to MVS for his posting.
Would like to see more..
On a cautionary note, be certain there are no sharp objects nearby when listening and you have taken your meds, his music is quite dour and turbulent..
I completely agree with you. I have just spent a few hours listening to his symphonies (No. 1, 4, 5, 6, 10, 13) and find them very engaging. It is hard to describe other than saying they are neo-romantic/post modern. In some ways it reminds me of Prokofiev, Pendericki, and Peterson. Dark, gloomy, and intense but certainly an original voice. I really loved what I heard.
