Today's Pairing is Gyorgi Ligeti's Requiem and Elem Klimov's film Come and See (1985). Both portray war in a tragic, terrifying, and sometimes hysterical manner.

#Thanks to @alsosprachzarathustra03 for the suggestion #alternate pairings for the day are as follows:#Requiem with Picasso's Guernica #Come and See with Shostakovich's Second Piano Trio #pairing #classical music pairings #ligeti #gyorgi ligeti #elem klimov #come and see #requiem #classical music #film

Today's pairing is Nikolai Kapustin's Nocturne, Op. 20 alongside George Seurat's Les bords de Seine au pont de Suresnes.

Kapustin was a Soviet-born composer known for fusing classical sensibilities and jazz in his compositions. Seurat was a painter who painted few works overall, but is generally considered to have initiated Neo-Impressionism with the chromoluminarist techniques that he employed in such famous paintings as A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.

Today's pairing is No Exit by Jean-Paul Sartre and Dmitri Shostakovich's 15th Symphony.

I personally feel that Shostakovich's 15th fits with many theatre of the absurd plays due to the atmosphere it creates both in the beginning and ending of the symphony, and due to the startling effect of the symphony's several allusions to outside works.
