This disc presents some key examples from the composer's cogently argued, purely abstract works and from his series of pieces inspired by literary or visual images. All five pieces demonstrate his acute ear for orchestral and instrumental sonority, especially in their imaginative use of percussion; they also serve as a reminder of his love for Baroque forms such as passacaglia and ritornello, and his interest in contemporary procedures such as palindromic and aleatory methods.
