Varèse was one of the most violent, provocative and imaginative composers of this century. Although he was not prolific, his works have deeply influenced many other composers and musicians. Riccardo Chailly, who considers Varèse one of the most interesting yet under-performed composers, here presents astonishing performances of Varèse's entire output, including two pieces never published before: Tuning Up and Dances for Burgess.

"As for the well-known scores, one seems to hear them for the first time in their full grandeur and myriad sonic detail, properly played and balanced and with an impact not far short of a fission bomb. The results are magnificent, masterly throughout: the late Nocturnal, for example, has never sounded so profound and convincing. In Decca's vibrant sound, Amériques becomes even more the sonic spectacular of the century. The most important release of 1998."
BBC Music Magazine

"All the performances here are superbly definitive..."
The Penguin Guide

"There are just 16 pieces - 150 minutes of music - in the Varèse catalogue. If it's a slender body of work to support the reputation of a great master of 20th century modernism, the originality and utter rigour of every piece make him one of the most persistently influential composers of our time."
