First time I listened to this I was pretty astonished at how violent and barbaric it was. I already loved pieces like the Rite of Spring so when I found out this was going to be playing at the BBC Proms, I was pretty skeptical at how it would be since I thought it was a bit overwhelming. Never in my experience of live performances had I encountered a piece with such power delivering an atmosphere which is indescribable. With each of the drums resonating with my whole body, this truly was an unforgettable experience, listening to this live. I really appreciate this composer and the complexity and depth of this piece, which is unlike anything I've ever heard.

@Jon N. cool! What piece did you see played?

Jon N.

@Alejandro Vidal Having just been to a concert of Xenakis' music I think it really has to be heard live. It's that intense.

Alejandro Vidal

Seeing this piece played live is one of my biggest dreams. It's a pity the BBC did not streamed or taped that concert. What a missed opportunity.

I'm normally not a Xenakis fan to be honest but this was just Incredible! Love it

Xenakis, the embodiment of oragnized chaos.
I remember as a kid listening to him and wondering how he can make an orchestra sound like a jet engine.

Stochastic music is almost the opposite of serial composition which (like almost all earlier music) started from a musical microcosm, a single line, and grew it outwards (but sometimes in a rather rigid way). Instead Xenakis started from the overall principles governing the movements of massed sounds and worked down to the individual lines that make it up, only at the end. It was a response to music that had become too complex for the organisation to be audible.

I'm revisiting this masterful piece again on February 15, 2023. Stravinsky and Bernard Herrmann "shines through" this brilliant composition.
