Dedicated to Christian Lindberg [Hybrid SACD]

Dedicated to Christian Lindberg [Hybrid SACD] (2007) more music like this

performed by Christian Lindberg (trombone), Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra, Peter Rundel (conductor)
composed by Iannis Xenakis, Luciano Berio, Mark-Anthony Turnage

Trombone virtuoso Christian Lindberg has had over 80 concertos written for him. Lindberg admits that there are parts, sometimes large parts, of the three concertos recorded here that are virtually unplayable, but he has mastered them and offers no indication of stressful exertion; he and the Oslo Philharmonic, conducted by Peter Rundel, play with ...

Xenakis: Erikhthon; Ata; Akrata; Krinoïdi more music like this

performed by Hiroaki Ooï (piano), Luxembourg Symphony Orchestra, Arturo Tamayo (conductor)
composed by Iannis Xenakis

The fourth volume of Timpani's series of orchestral works by Iannis Xenakis presents four works from three distinct periods, though not in chronological order. Erikhthon for piano and orchestra (1974) is one of the "arborescent" or branch-like compositions from Xenakis' middle phase. Expanding and contracting through criss-crossing glissandi and ...

Xenakis: Thalleïn; Aïs (1994) more music like this

performed by Philip Larson (baritone), SONOR Ensemble of USCD, Steve Schick (percussion), Jolla Symphony
composed by Iannis Xenakis

Ostensibly made to commemorate the 1990 Xenakis@UCSD Festival, this CD was released in 1994 and offers only four works, where the festival presented 19 in its week-long run. Of these, only Aïs and Thalleïn were performed there, making the inclusion of Gendy3 and Taurhiphanie somewhat mysterious. However, whether taken in connection with the San ...

Xenakis: Works for Piano, Vol. 4 (1999) more music like this

performed by Aki Takahashi (piano), Jane Peters (violin), Society for New Music, Charles Peltz (conductor)
composed by Iannis Xenakis

Known for drawing unusual sonorities from conventional instruments, Xenakis strangely left the piano's potential for novel sounds unexplored. In these works, Xenakis stays on the keyboard without so much as a plucked string or any use of gadgetry to alter the instrument's sound. Although that might make these pieces appear less radical, even "safe ...

composed by Iannis Xenakis

For many of Iannis Xenakis' fans, his percussion works have served as practical introductions to his methods and ideas; yet they are also valued for their accessibility, bracing vitality, and amazing virtuosity. Much of Xenakis' music challenges the listener because the underlying mathematical theories, complex networks of lines, dense textures, ...

Xenakis: Complete Music for Piano; Ravel: Gaspard de la Nuit (2004) more music like this

performed by Marc Ponthus (piano)
composed by Iannis Xenakis, Maurice Ravel

Elaborate, dense, and ferociously virtuosic, the intense piano music of Iannis Xenakis is gradually gaining acceptance in the repertoire and is appearing more frequently on disc. However, his complete keyboard oeuvre is quite small, and fills little more than a half hour -- an impractical program for a commercial CD unless suitable filler is ...

Xenakis: Synaphai; Aroura; Antikhthon (2006) more music like this

performed by Geoffrey Douglas Madge (piano), New Philharmonia Orchestra, Elgar Howarth (conductor)
composed by Iannis Xenakis

On this CD, the New Philharmonia Orchestra, conducted by Elgar Howarth, plays three large orchestral works by Iannis Xenakis written in 1969 and 1971. Although two of them only last about 12 minutes, they have a monumentality that easily qualifies them as large; Xenakis was never one for making modest musical statements. Certain characteristics ...

Xenakis: Pléiades / Psappha (1981) more music like this

performed by Kroumata Percussion Ensemble
composed by Iannis Xenakis

Xenakis' concepts and techniques are explicitly displayed in his percussion music, more clearly than in his orchestral pieces. Yet this is not to suggest that his music has been simplified, for the writing is as complicated as ever. The Kroumata Percussion Ensemble is well-suited to meet the demands Xenakis makes, and it presents a unified and ...
