Album Notes & Community Reviews
A definitive mid-century recording of a fiercely original masterpiece that elevated percussion to the same structural importance as the keyboard. The performance expertly navigates the aggressive, driving rhythms and stark dissonance that heavily influenced the post-war avant-garde.
