Varese: Arcana; Ameriques; Ionization; Offrandes; Density 21.5; Octandre; Integrales (1990) more music like this

performed by Ensemble InterContemporain, Lawrence Beauregard (flute), New York Philharmonic, Rachel Yakar (soprano), Pierre Boulez (conductor)
composed by Edgard Varèse

Pierre Boulez's insightful interpretations of Varèse's music were important additions to a once meager catalog of recordings. The 1977 release of Ionisation, Arcana, and Amériques came as a revelation and redressed the false impressions other wooden and inept performances had left of these pieces. Boulez's recordings have vivid details, room for ...

Sonic Rebellion: Alternative Classical Collection (2007) more music like this

performed by Aaron Shorr (piano), Albert Schweitzer Quintet, Ars Nova Copenhagen, Art Nouveau Ensemble, Boris Berman (prepared piano), Continuum, Elsbeth Moser (bayan), Jørgen Plaetner (electronics), Kathrin Rabus (violin), Laura Mikkola (piano), Maria Kliegel (cello)
composed by Arvo Pärt, Charles Wuorinen, Conlon Nancarrow, Edgard Varèse, Einojuhani Rautavaara, George Crumb, Giacinto Scelsi, György Ligeti, Hans Werner Henze, John Adams, John Cage, Jørgen Plaetner, Krzysztof Penderecki, Philip Glass, Sofia Gubaidulina

The Naxos label diverges from its usual plain graphic design with this attempt to create the idea of an "alternative classical" genre, an idea that has paid big dividends when applied to rock and country music. Most of the selections are drawn from existing Naxos releases, with a few taken from discs by Denmark's Da Capo and Germany's CPO labels. ...

Xenakis, Varèse (1997) more music like this

performed by Carnegie Mellon Philharmonic, Timothy Adams (percussion), Juan Pablo Izquierdo (conductor)
composed by Edgard Varèse, Iannis Xenakis

That these works seem somewhat mismatched has less to do with odd programming decisions than with the difficulty of categorizing Iannis Xenakis' music. At the heart of the problem is Xenakis' refusal to write in one style and his stated pledge to avoid repeating himself. As a result of this uncompromising position, his works are often hard to ...

Zoltán Kocsis is best known outside of Hungary as a pianist, and is widely regarded as one of the best interpreters of Debussy and Bartók. Since 1997, however, Kocsis has served as music director of the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra and has led it through a period of renewal and growth that many American orchestras would be happy to ...

performed by Camerata Silesia, Christopher Lyndon-Gee (piano), Elizabeth Watts (soprano), Maria Grochowski (flute), National Symphony Orchestra of Polish Radio and Television, Christopher Lyndon-Gee (conductor)
composed by Edgard Varèse

There are a number of "complete" renderings of Varèse on disc, largely as his overall output is so small -- only about 13 works -- and the history of complete recorded editions of his work, actually complete or not, stretches back into the 1950s. Naxos' edition, piloted by conductor Christopher Lyndon-Gee, may not represent a name with the power ...

Five of the discs on this six-CD set are previously released Naxos recordings of a broad variety of works by Estonian composer Arvo Pärt. The set offers a generous sampling of works spanning the composer's career, from his polystylistic Collage über BACH (1964) for orchestra to his 2001 Nunc dimittis for a cappella chorus. The bulk of the ...
