SYR 4: Goodbye 20th Century
from: Sonic Youth / Syr
: :Wildly influential four-piece Sonic Youth have self-released their version of a tribute to the 20th century: two discs of noisy interpretations of modern, experimental classical scores. The group has chosen composers whose works leave a great amount of innovation open to the performer. This chance-embracing approach--typified and in some senses originated by John Cage--is one of the crucial turning points of 'new' music. What's great about this CD is that it demonstrates the freewheeling, decidedly unserious spirit behind this ...

Varèse - The Complete Works / Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra · Asko Ensemble · Chailly
: essential recording:For a composer who is (now) recognizably part of the 20th-century classical canon, the French émigré Edgard Varèse's output was astoundingly meager. Just 15 compositions from his entire life (he destroyed the compositions from his early years, and was a merciless editor of his own material in general) made it out to the listening world. Varèse was caught in the chasm between the music of yesterday and the music of tomorrow: scoring music for modified theremin, steamboat ...
