| |  | Xenakis: Alpha & Omega
Universal Music pays tribute to the composer with this keenly priced 4 CD set. Most of the recordings found here are making a comeback to the catalogue, some are first time onto CD. Ten years after his death, the innovativeness of his music has lost none of its force and clearly marks him out as an essential composer of our time. “this is an extraordinary collection of pieces; several of which are among the most ear-stretchingly dissonant, exciting and uncompromising you’ll ever hear...And however hard it is to pin down exactly why, Xenakis’s wildest outbursts always sound controlled, cunningly organised...None of this music is easy listening, but it’s impossible not to be impressed by such craggy, exhilarating physicality.” The Arts Desk, 22nd October 2011 | | | This item is currently out of stock at the UK distributor. You may order it now but please be aware that it may be six weeks or more before it can be despatched. |

| |  | Xenakis - Orchestral Works
This is a perfect and unique kaleidoscope in the recorded catalogue, of what will have been Xenakis’ inestimable contribution to orchestral music in the latter half of the 20th Century. The listener is surrounded by sound, immersed and taken into a universe unlike any other. This collection of five discs represents the major part of his output, with some works now firmly set in the orchestral repertoire, such as Jonchaies, Lichens, Aïs and Synaphaï. ‘This is viscerally exciting music’ BBC Music Magazine ‘Strongly recommended’ Gramophone Awards “ A wonderfully varied collection of superb studio performances” The Guardian, 31st December 2009 **** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
