  • 5. TRANSFIGURED NIGHTMARE 00:01:32 AN UNNERVING DIALOGUE OF CHILLING STRINGS COMES FROM ROMANTIC CZECH COMPOSER, JOSEF SUK.

WE ALMOST HEAR CRIES FROM THE DEPTHS EXCHANGED BETWEEN THE INSTRUMENTS IN THE OPENING BEFORE ALL STRINGS COME TOGETHER FOR A BRIEF MOMENT, ONLY FOR THE UNITY TO BREAK YET AGAIN TO CONVEY TREPIDATION.
