I only discovered Abel the other day via the decades long running New Sounds (NY) I haven’t been this excited to find such an inventive spirit in a while; not unlike the first time I heard the Kronos QT, Meredith Monk, Julius Eastman, Iva Bittova, and on and on :)

The transition into the Vivaldi at about 08'30 is sheer magic. But in fact all of it is - magic I mean.
