Edgard Varèse, Sarah Leonard Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, ASKO Ensemble, Riccardo Chailly “Riccardo Chailly's 1996 account [of Amériques] is unlike any of its competitors in that it reconstructed for the first time Varèse's original version of the score from 1918-21, which uses a vast orchestra featuring 27 woodwind and 29 brass instruments - even a cyclone whistle. The recording certainly packs a punch, but the Concertgebouw players also revel in the many subtleties that colour the composer's unique orchestration. It comes as part of a two-disc release that features all of Varèse's surviving music - small in quantity but big on impact.” Matthew Rye, The Telegraph, 24th August 2008 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Percussion MasterpiecesLive recording, Teatro alla Scala, 28.10.2007
I Percussionisti della Scala, Renato Rivolta Stradivarius are proud to announce a first co-production with the Teatro alla Scala, Milan. It's a live recording of a concert held last October during Italy's most prestigious festival of contemporary music: Milano Musica. The ensemble of I Percussionisti was formed in 1978 at the suggestion of Claudio Abbado.The name refers to the theatre where they are based and carry most of their activity. John Cage: "Maybe there's a link between poverty and music". Percussion instruments inhabit the whole world, also and especially in its poorer parts. A meeting of cultures that provides fertile ground. None of the composers considered here spared themselves the risk of such a clash. None indulged in facile exoticism or folkloristic effects. So there! |

| |  | Varèse - Orchestral Works Volume 2
Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, Christopher Lyndon-Gee The works on this recording span Varèse’s entire career, containing his sole surviving early composition, Un Grand Sommeil Noir, and his last, unfinished work, Nocturnal, brilliantly and seamlessly completed by the composer’s disciple and assistant during the last seventeen years of his life, the composer Chou Wen-Chung. Chiefly, though, the recording features the world première recording of the original version of Amériques, for a massive orchestra of 155 players, recorded immediately following a rare public performance at the Warsaw Philharmonic (only its second since the 1920s) as part of the 2005 Warsaw Autumn Festival. “These Polish musicians are well used to be rough-and-tumble of performing the early textural works of Penderecki and Górecki and the visceral rawness, inherent in their own culture, transmutes powerfully to these seminal Varèse scores.” Gramophone Magazine, October 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
