This collection presents a wonderful overview of the variety and range in Christian Wolff's work from 1950 through 1987, from the most delicate of soundpieces, to gently humorous works, to powerfully moving political and humanist statements. There are excellent performances by The Barton Workshop with composer/trombonist James Fulkerson as conductor and director. The works included are several that address feminist concerns and history: Piano Trio (Greenham - Seneca - Camiso), named after three women's peace encampments around the world; I Like to Think of Harriet Tubman, with a powerful text by {%Susan Griffin} about this brave "conductor" on the Underground Railroad who risked life and limb to guide slaves to freedom, which text also contains pointed references to modern times; and the Piano Song (I am a Dangerous Woman), to an insightful text by {%Joan Cavanagh} ("I will tell you, sir, whether you are concerned or not, masculinity has made of this world a living hell, a furnace burning away at hope, love, faith, and justice"). There are surprising instrumental pieces: the delicate Duo for Violinist and Pianist (1961) which is also a duo about contrasting senses of time; the remarkably forward-looking Serenade (1950) which Wolff composed when he was only sixteen years old; the beautiful in memoriam piece For Morty; and the sweetly humorous Stardust Pieces, named after his third child, {%Starbuck}. The Eisler Ensemble Pieces contain variations on traditional folk songs about joyful resistance to oppression. ~ "Blue Gene" Tyranny, All Music Guide

In its outstanding Edition Iannis Xenakis, Mode presents coherent programs that put the composer's hard-to-categorize works in context and help make his fierce but fascinating music more intelligible to a growing legion of admirers. This is the sixth volume in the series, covering six compositions for various configurations of strings that also broadly represent three key periods in Xenakis' ouevre. Of his early works, Syrmos and Analogique A+B (both 1959) exemplify the mathematically generated music Xenakis developed at the beginning of his career, filled with group glissandi, clustered harmonics, and scurrying pizzicato textures. Two compositions of his dynamic middle period, Aroura (1971) and Theraps (1975-1976), reflect the severity of the mythopoetic concepts that preoccupied Xenakis in that decade. The somewhat gnomic late pieces, Voile (1995) and the sextet Ittidra (1996), are hard to define in terms of techniques or time period, yet demonstrate a consolidation of Xenakis' ideas, particularly in the dense accumulations of sounds and interwoven arboresences in Voile. The Ensemble Resonanz, directed by Johannes Kalitzke, is incisive in its execution and thrilling for its shockingly brilliant timbres; and bassist John Eckhardt deserves special recognition for his heroic solo performance of Theraps, one of the most incredibly difficult pieces for bass ever composed. Mode's sound quality is absolutely superb. ~ Blair Sanderson, All Music Guide

Known for drawing unusual sonorities from conventional instruments, Xenakis strangely left the piano's potential for novel sounds unexplored. In these works, Xenakis stays on the keyboard without so much as a plucked string or any use of gadgetry to alter the instrument's sound. Although that might make these pieces appear less radical, even "safe," Xenakis exploits every other option available. Evryali is an energetically rhythmic piece that bursts into a chaotic roar of crashing chords, traversing the piano's range and achieving maximum volume. Dikhthas is also heavily dependent on loud, percussive playing, though the violin's glissandi and pitch-bending provide the microtones that are integral to Xenakis' sound and add a welcome timbral contrast. Herma, constantly shifting in mood with wildly variable gestures, is regrettably like many other avant-garde solo piano pieces. A kind of mini-concerto, Palimpsest is the most characteristic work on the disc, full of the sonic mayhem and ritualistic patterns for which Xenakis is best known. Mists darts everywhere, as if actively pursuing ideas only to find that they dissipate when grasped. A.r., the briefest piece, is a rapid toccata extrapolated from a fragment by Ravel, though the overpowering result is unlike anything by that composer. ~ Blair Sanderson, All Music Guide
