The radical French composer Edgard Var猫se displayed in all his startling stripes. From the 'collision of masses' and the lion's roar in the soundworld of the chamber work Hyperprism, to Density 21.5 just for solo flute. To conclude, his celebrated 础尘茅谤颈辩耻别蝉, the siren-infused New York cityscape written by Var猫se in the New World in 1918, and here performed by the 麻豆约拍 Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sakari Oramo.
