Search - Stephanos Thomopoulos :: Xenakis: Piano Works

Iannis Xenakis has a long story with Timpani. The five important discs of his orchestral work recorded with the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg remain in the labels catalogue. Stéphanos Thomopoulos whose first commercial disc this is does not just share a common origin with Xenakis. He is also the first pianist to be the holder of a doctorate in performance, and has become with his lectures the exegete of Xenakis music. As he says of the composer: Xenakis personal itinerary is marked by difference and the struggle to advance. The music of Xenakis is inhabited by this tension.
