Title: More large orchestral works from Xenakis
Review: Xenakis is generally at his best when he works with large forces. This disc, second in a series from this label, presents four large orchestral works (two are premiere recordings). All are beautifully (and aggressively) performed. There are some surprises in the a few of the works themselves; "Jonchaines", the opening work, is often quite melodic and at times reminded me (slightly) of Bernard Herrmann (!).I suspect more attention will be focused on Xenakis since his recent passing. This is an excellent inclusion in the recorded canon of his works and recommended without reservation.
