Iannis Xenakis IX

Japanese percussionist Kuniko has dared to perform Iannis Xenakis' "Pleiades", a work long considered unplayable, using modern multitrack recording techniques. In this way, she has recorded all six percussion parts herself, achieving an inner density in the work on this recording that has never been heard before. Xenakis fans will cheer! This album also shows how accessible and beautiful the much-maligned avant-garde music can be. With "Pleiades", Xenakis has created a piece that, apart from its performance difficulties, offers music that can captivate a wide audience.
