| Amazing Iannis Xenakis collection of historical recordings of essential works. Disc one features all works on CD for the first time; Disc 2 features different mixes of Xenakis' most famous electronic works. "Disc one with the orchestra works represents an era of Xenakis' development of polytope, geometrical, mathematical, based works from the late 1950s to the 60s in historical recordings earlierly released on LP except for "ST/48" which has not previously been released." Includes: CD1: "ST/48" (for 48 Instruments, 1959-62); "Le Polytope de Montreal" (for four Orchestras, 1967); "Nomos Gamma" (for large Orchestra scattered among the audience, 1967-68); "Terretektorh" (for large Orchestra scattered among the audience); "Syrmos" (for 18 Strings, 1959); "Achorripsis" (for 21 Instruments, 1956-57). CD 2: "Persepolis 'avec mouvement' version" (electroacoustic music on 8-track tape, 1971); "Polytope de Cluny" (electroacoustic music on 8-track tape, 1972). Regarding the version of "Perspolis" on this disc: this is the 4th stereo mix of this piece to be released to date (original Philips LP, then CDs by Fractal and Asphodel). Fractal was the first to reissue the "sans mouvement" version [in a mix by Joao Rafael, originally solicited by Edition RZ] -- their CD is now o/p; Asphodel reissued the "avec mouvement" version in a GRM mix by Daniel Terrugi). So, this is a unique stereo mix, done by Daniel Teige (who spent 2 years working on it), about 10 minutes shorter than the Terrugi GRM mix. Regarding: "Polytope de Cluny" -- this is a different mix than the one previously released on MODE 98. |
