Title: One of the Best Xenakis Albums Ever
Review: 1) 'Palimpsest': best overall version. The version on Mode is presented a little more digitally (crisp and clear), and Aki plays wonderfully, but I like the ambience on the Wergo.2) 'Epei': Xenakis's limpest and most diatonic score, a very odd piece for winds and doublebass, it is the only really available recording (there is another on Bvhaast).3) 'Dikhthas': as good as any version out there. The Aki/Mode recording is also tops; Arditti & Helffer are also good in the Montaigne recording..4) 'Akanthos': the echt Xenakis piece, very much like 'Palimpsest'. The vocalist is beautiful, unlike her competition (sic) on Mode. This is the only real choice.All these pieces are from 1977-79, so it is essential for illuminating part of this extremely fertile period. Surely most of you already have the disc and need no review. Enjoy!
