New York Times
This composer of the New Complexity movement admires avant-jazz. He also digs 19th-century classics. So, when adapting Verdi, he does it via the spirit of Cecil Taylor. Near the midpoint of Finnissy’s “La Traviata” potpourri, you’ll find dense fireworks as well as tenderness deriving from a motif Verdi once assigned to Violetta.
