Buy Now	Xenakis: Kraanerg (more) »rank: 26154 from: Asphodel Records : :Iannis Xenakis is the complete 20th-century composer--a pioneer of orchestral, electronic, tape, and computer music.

Now in his 70s, Xenakis is enjoying a golden age, as a new generation of admirers rises to the challenge of performing his demanding works. Leading this resurgence is Zacharie Bornstein's ST-X Ensemble, who here navigate the long-form ...
