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. ...

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 ...

Under Jean Martinon's meticulous direction, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra made these recordings for RCA in 1966 and 1967 and set high standards that conductors and orchestras have either followed or surpassed since. That Bartók's ballet The Miraculous Mandarin and Varèse's Arcana would later be given superior performances by Pierre Boulez and the ...

Music of Edgar Varèse (1996) more music like this

performed by Robert Craft (conductor)
composed by Edgard Varèse

In the early '60s, Robert Craft's Columbia recordings of Varèse's works (re-released on this AAD disc) were important contributions to the catalog and hailed for giving this music greater exposure. However, in comparison to later recordings of higher quality, these performances are uneven, rushed, and severe. Part of this is due to Craft's urgent ...

Of Beauty & Light: The Music of Philip Glass [Box Set] (2007) more music like this

performed by Aaron Shorr (piano), Adele Anthony (violin), Albert Schweitzer Quintet, Ars Nova Copenhagen, Art Nouveau Ensemble, Boris Berman (prepared piano), Continuum, Elsbeth Moser (bayan), Jørgen Plaetner (electronics), Kathrin Rabus (violin)

Naxos' bargain-priced compilation of three of its previously released discs of music by Philip Glass is especially valuable because it consists entirely of works for orchestra, a genre in which he is not especially well represented on recordings. (Many of his film scores are written for orchestra, but his absolute music -- symphonies and concertos ...
