Description:
Pianist Aki Takahashi follows up her acclaimed first disc of Xenakis piano works with this second volume, this time works for piano with instruments. She is joined by an all-star cast of players: Rohan de Saram (formerly of the Arditti Quartet), The Jack Quartet, and the Callithumpian Consort conducted by Steve Drury. Includes the first new recording in over 10 years of Xenakis' landmark work "Eonta" (1963) for piano, 2 trumpets & 3 trombones - a blistering work which rates among the most difficult solo piano pieces ever written.
