IANNIS XENAKIS - COMPILATION


Compiled from diverse sources. Nornally I do not post anything which is readily available.
Here I took a few pieces from CDs - some of them might be still in print.

The first two compostitions are - to my knowledge - not available in any form.
Please correct me when I'm wrong.



1. Pour Les Baleines (1982) for 60 strings (16.14.12.10.8) [2:49]

    Many thanks for your work. The first two pieces are indeed unknown to me.

    Hello JC - I saw the Jack Quartet earlier this year, and would certainly be interested in recordings of them playing Xenakis. I've seen the Arditti Quartet play most of the Xenakis string quartet and trio pieces - fantastic, of course - but these pieces leave tremendous scope for different approaches and interpretation.

    Huge thanks to both onxidlib and juan ant for these offerings. I have been listening to Xenakis for more than 40 years now and still find compositions/pieces I've never heard before! Looking forward to listening.
