Among Iannis Xenakis’ most frequently performed & recorded works are his solo percussion pieces, Pléïades & Rebonds, which stretch the limits of a performer’s dexterity, speed, & stamina. As part of her touring Project IX, Kuniko Kato has performed Pléïades in a multimedia presentation with dancer Megumi Nakamura, & Rebonds has been a part of her repertoire ever since she became a professional percussionist, so she has a thorough knowledge of Xenakis’ system of notation & methods. This hybrid SACD from Linn provides the best format for capturing the subtle nuances & timbres of the instruments, which include pitched & unpitched percussion, & the Mch recording reproduces the wide dynamic range & spatial dimensions of Kato’s performances. Listeners who are coming to Xenakis for the 1st time may find the percussion works quite accessible, & they will appreciate the precision & power of Kato’s virtuosic playing. Highly recommended.
