"fiendishly tough on both audiences" is this a way of saying it's not very nice without saying it?

(Thanks for the YT link to it, nice touch)




At the end of the YT video, the audience applause seems tepid, nobody stands, and yet the performers must be exhausted. (I think it's a great performance.) There's no singable theme, nothing really catchy, just 15 minutes of pretty intense focus required by everybody. For me, it's completely gripping - it can't be background music and I cannot do other work if it is playing. I think it is somehow alien, and so it will never be as widely celebrated as his other works.


Indeed, listening to 2/3rds of it left me in a fugue-like state.
