The album Liebestod, from Polish composer Stefan Wesolowski, consists of repetitive compositions written for piano, brass instruments, strings, and electronics. The title itself is derived from Wagners Tristan und Isolde, which says a lot about Wesolowskis primary inspirations. Liebestod shows a tremendous amount of respect for classical music, but Wesolowski is far from making literal references, instead showing his own unique musical language: rough and radical at some points, yet full of intense nostalgia and beauty.
