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. |

| |  | Tenney: In Memoriam
What James Tenney does have in common with the composers to whom he has dedicated his FORMs, however, is not a specific approach to dynamics, but to sound. And precisely this inquiring interest in sound, both as a physical phenomenon and as regards its perception, was a constant leitmotif that pervaded the whole American avant-garde in the 20th century. To a certain extent, it could even be seen as a decisive characteristic distinguishing the American avant-garde from its European counterpart, which was more structurally and historically oriented. — Raoul Mörchen | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
