Xenakis - Works with Piano - Harmonia Mundi

Pianist Aki Takahashi follows her acclaimed first volume of Xenakis piano works with a recital works for piano and instruments. Xenakis' legendary Eonta - a blistering work with one of the most difficult piano parts ever written - receives its first new recording in over 10 years. The brass writing specifies spatialized movement for the brass players - including playing directly into the piano for its resonance - both dramatic to see and hear, captured in surround sound.
