Les espaces acoustiques

by GĂ©rard Grisey

Les espaces acoustiques cover art

This definitive recording captures Grisey's masterwork, a foundational pillar of the spectral music movement. Composed as a cycle of six pieces that gradually expand from a solo viola to a massive orchestral climax, the work analyzes the physical properties of sound over time to dictate its radical harmonic structures.
