"Four absolute masterpieces by one of the greatest composers of the 20th Century. Spanning over three decades, Epithalamium presents New York born Wuorinen at his radical best, pushing the limits of instrumental and electronic music. Expressly chosen for this exclusive Tzadik release by longtime Wuorinen fan John Zorn, the pieces here include the electronic composition Time's Encomium, (winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1970); from the '80s: New York Notes, which brilliantly blends electronic tape with acoustic instruments; and two masterful miniatures from the '90s: Epithalamium for two trumpets and Lepton for harp, celeste and piano. All recordings were done under the supervision of Mr. Wuorinen himself, and have been remastered for exclusive release on Tzadik."

Catalog #:	TZ 8010

"Four masterpieces by one of the world's greatest composers of classical concert music, including three pieces that have never been released before. The fourth quartet is perhaps Wuorinen's most complex and exciting composition, and it receives a passionate performance by the prestigious Brentano Quartet. Also included is the intense and colorful chamber piece On Alligators, conducted by the composer, and a moody piece for organ performed by one of the world's greatest organists on one of the world's greatest organs. Completing this eclectic program of Wuorinen as you've never heard him before, is the phenomenal Third Piano Concerto, newly remastered and reworked by the composer himself. Intense and beautiful music by a modern master."
