Ionisation is the genre-pioneering 2nd ever percussion-only composition in the entire history of western music; its instrumentation includes 2 sirens and several Cuban and Chinese devices. The performers are Frederic Waldman conducting the Juilliard Percussion Orchestra, The New York Wind Ensemble (including Samuel Baron), and Rene Le Roy, flute. Varese studied under d'Indy, Roussel, Widor, Debussy, and Rolland, and was an associate of Richard Strauss, Erik Satie, Alban Berg, Henry Cowell, Anton Webern, Igor Stravinsky, Charles Ives, John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and Pierre Schaeffer; during his life he was an underappreciated member of the avant garde, but his visionary work anticipated many of the century's later musical developments, and he was especially influential to Frank Zappa. Early pressings on colored vinyl.
