The Best of Kairos

The list author says:
	"Scelsi was one of the most original of post-war composers. This disc offers outstanding performances of works from all periods of his output."

The list author says:
	"Rihm's piano music is much underrated. 'Nachstudie' is an outstanding work, exploring the parts other piano pieces don't reach."

The list author says:
	"Lang's work is about as hard-edged as contemporary music gets. With influences from rap to Kurdish folk music, this is a harsh, bruising, eclectic mix."

The list author says:
	"This is as good an introduction as any to Sciarrino's compelling world of tiny, whispering gestures."

The list author says:
	"Furrer is a composer whose stature rises with every new work. 'Stimmen' is the most impressive new choral work I've heard in a long time."

The list author says:
	"Lachenmann's 'opera' is one of the most ambitious works of the 1990s. It's a demanding work, but an exceedingly rewarding one."

The list author says:
	"Feldman's film music shows us a side of this great composer that we normally don't hear."

The list author says:
	"The best recording currently available of the best of Scelsi's string quartets."

The list author says:
	"'Klangschatten' is an outstanding work, a gripping half-hour built from tiny fragments of sound."

The list author says:
	"Grisey's last work and his greatest. For my money, this darkly intense song cycle is the outstanding single composition of the 1990s."

The list author says:
	"'Nun' is Lachenmann's answer to Bruckner's adagios."

The list author says:
	"Haas' percussion concerto is probably the most unvirtuosic percussion concerto ever written. This might also be why it's one of the best."

The list author says:
	"Getting right up to date with the latest works from the pen of Beat Furrer."
