“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

“There are better accounts of some of these pieces (virtually the complete Varèse canon), but Nagano doesn't sell the music short, and the recording copes equally well with the massive sonorities of Arcana and the intimacies of Octandre or Densité 21.5.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2005 ***
