Those Variations, I need to get to know better.  I've enjoyed the odd casual listen.
Same for me (and my recording is actually the Louisville recording, too)

my favorite Carter, easily. Accessible yet not populist.  :)

Hartmann's 6th symphony. It's the musical equivalent of having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick. ;)
Well this quote may well have been over 16 months old but it got me to listen and purchase this work - good call. From there, his Concerto Funebre. Can someone who is more knowledgable than me tell me whether the final chord of the piece contains all 12 notes? It certainly sounds as though it might. Regardless, it is a terrific roller-coaster of a work, and one that I believe is still performed from time to time. I shall be looking out for it.
"Do you think that I could have composed what I have composed, do you think that one can write a single note with life in it if one sits there and pities oneself?"

Elektra. It's about as Extreme Metal as you can get, while still being coherent.
