Iannis Xenakis invented his own instruments for Pléiades, a suggestive, interstellar work for percussion ensemble.

The musicians led by Basel solo timpanist Domenico Melchiorre play the shimmering music, which fuses the boundaries between individual instrument, ensemble, and listener on a dizzying scale: subtle and yet with nerve!

Besprechung im Magazin Das Orchester, 6/2019 von Stephan Froleyks
