Catalog #:	MODE 058CD

Contains 3 works by Xenakis , including the first recording of a recent large orchestra piece ('Dammerschein' -- "an energy charged, volcanic composition from the first note to the last, its massive contrasting blocks of sound give the aura of light passing through music"); "Persephassa" (for percussion ensemble) & "La Deesse Athena ("a thickly scored chamber work, with the instruments often playing in their most aggressive ranges"). Plus Edgard Varese's "Ameriques" ("for a huge orchestra including 11 percussionists and sirens, was influenced by the urban landscape of NY -- a thing of violent beauty. At the climax, the full power of the orchestra is unleashed in one of the most expansive and impressive passages in the entire orchestral repertoire. A sonic experience richly recorded and guaranteed to blow you out of your seat!").
