5.0 out of 5 stars The Best!, November 2, 2002

This is both my favorite Varèse recording and my favorite Nagano recording. I find Nagano's Varèse to be much more dynamic and exciting than Boulez (when I compare Hyperprism for instance). I also find that this CD has a really great selection of works (Octandre is my single favorite Varèse work).

3.0 out of 5 stars Varese, ahead of his time, August 18, 2000

This is an excellant collection of Edgard Varese's work. This collections my favorite Varese composition " Hyperprism." Varese in his day was far ahead of his time because his music today is still trail blazing in nature. Everyone who is interested in avant garde music should buy this cd immediatly. No classical collection is complete without it.
