The Complete Works

by Edgard Varèse & Chou Wen-chung

The Complete Works cover art

Compiled and edited by his protégé Chou Wen-chung, 'The Complete Works' is the definitive testament to Edgard Varèse's revolutionary impact on modern classical music. The collection spans his manic, highly dissonant orchestral compositions to his pioneering, avant-garde experiments in musique concrète and early electronics.
