	The Angel Of Death CD2 of this 2-CD package, produced at IRCAM, in Paris, contains an excellent performance of Roger Reynolds' 'Angel of Death', for solo piano, chamber orchestra, and 6-channels of computer-processed sound, by Jean-Marie Cottet, pianist, with the Court-circuit Ensemble, conducted by Pierre-André Valade. CD2 is an e-book, co-edited by Stephen McAdams and Marc Editor, that contains documentation of the so-called 'Angel of Death Project', a research effort designed by psychologist Stephen McAdams and Roger Reynolds to explore the interaction of musical creation, experimentation, music analysis, and audience reception that was recorded at the first performances, in June 2001 in Paris and in April 2002 in San Diego, via IRCAM's custom-designed continuous-response devices. Whatever the conclusions, the music is among Reynolds' most powerful compositions. IRCAM  =>  IR123-2  $39.00

	Le Scorpion Marin Matalon's 'Le Scorpion' is the musical counterpoint to the Luis Buñuel film L'Áge d'or.

The movements are titled: 'Les Scorpions', 'La Descente', 'La Choza', 'Les Bandits', 'Les Majorquins', 'Rome', 'Valse Dalienne', 'Les Marquis de X', 'Valse Bunuelesque', 'La Claque A', 'La Claque B', 'The Love Scene', 'La Girafe, Le Coussin et l'évêque', and 'Le Duc de Blangis'.

	Le noir de l'étoile Great molecular clouds fissure to give birth to new stars; stars worn out from having shone too much explode into supernovae; swirling pulsars crack and clink, the galaxies spray their gas in immense flows of millions of light years. Gérard Grisey's music is indeed in the image of stars: in turn rhythmic, violent, haunting, spluttering, incessantly starting over again. This disc features six compositions by Grisey for six percussionists and astronomical transmission signals: 'Presentation', '1st Mouvement', 'Pulsar Vela', '2nd Mouvement', 'Pulsar 0329+54', and '3rd Mouvement'. Stellar performances by The Strasbourg Percussion. IRCAM  =>  IR126  $32.00

	Boulez: Repons/Dialogue De L'Ombre Double Two major works by Pierre Boulez, 'Repons' for chamber ensemble and electronically-processed solo instruments, and 'Dialogue De L'Ombre Double' for clarinet and pre-recorded clarinet and electronics. The title 'Repons' (1981, revised 1984) refers to various levels of dialog within the music, between soloists and ensemble, between the soloists themselves, between various transmformations of the music... 'Dialogue De L'Ombre Double' (1985) features clarinet solo and pre-recorded clarinet. Sound spacialization is an important element of this work, as it is in 'Repons'. A virtual image of the spacial placement of the six speakers surrounding the ensemble and audience in the performance is achieved on this recording via the "Spatialisateur', a computer program developed at Ircam. Ensemble InterContemporain (Pierre Boulez, conductor) is superb in its performance of 'Repons', as is Alain Amiens, clarinet soloist in the second work. Performances (in 'Repons') by Dimitri Vassilakis and Florent Boffard (piano), Frederique Cambreling (harp), Vincent Bauer (vibraphone), Daniel Ciampolini (xylophone and glockenspiel), and Michel Cerutti (cimbalom). IRCAM  =>  IR113  $29.00

Sch., op. 15d'; Jean-Louis Florentz's 'L'Ange du Tamaris, op. 12' (1990); György Ligeti's 'Trio pour violon, cor et piano' (1982); and Gérard Pesson's 'Récréations francaises' (1995).

	Antoine Bonnet Three powerful works by Antoine Bonnet, performed by Ensemble Intercontemporain, Pierre Boulez and David Robertson, conductors. 'La Terre Habitable' (1998), for three instrumental groups, is a richly textured composition, based upon texts by Julien Gracq. 'Nachtstrahl' (1994), a setting of poems by Paul Celan for flute, clarinet, violin, cello, piano, and voice, integrates the vocal soloist fully into the ensemble. Mezzo soprano Katherine Ciesinski is called upon to navigate techniques that range from sprechtstimme to singing and everywhere in between. 'Epitaphe' (1994), for large ensemble and electronics, offers a refreshing exploration of how the two media can work together in a deeply expressive manner. IRCAM  =>  IR117  $31.00
	Sur Incises: Boulez Three works by Pierre Boulez, beautifully performed by soloists from Ensemble Intercontemporain, directed by the composer. All three compositions are metamorphoses of earlier solo instrumental works by Boulez. 'Sur Incises' (1998) is a kinetic work, an expansion of 'Incises' for solo piano, scored here for three pianos, three harps and three percussion instruments. In 'Messagesquise' (1977), for solo cello and six cellos, the ensemble plays elements of the solo part, in a variety of fascinating ways. 'Anthèmes 2' (1997) for violin and electroacoustic realization, creates a complex, dynamic sound environment in which elements of the live solo performance are extracted and spatialized in real time. As a result, the violinist plays a duet with her or his own sound output, and with the acoustic space itself. The performances are by Hae-Sun Kang (violin) and Andrew Gerzso (electroacoustic realization), Jean-Guihen Queyras (cello) with Ensemble de Violoncelles de Paris (Pierre Boulez, conductor), and soloists from Ensemble Intercontemporain: Florent Boffard, Hideki Nagano, and Dimitri Vassilakis (piano), Frederique Cambreling, Marianne Le Mentec, and Sandrine Chatron (harp), and Daniel Ciampolini, Michel Cerutti, and Vincent Bauer (percussion).
