Grisey: Talea - Berio: Requies - Fujikura: Bassoon Concerto

Talea, meaning "to cut" or "to carve" in Latin, is an emblematic, striking work thanks to its unique structure and orchestration. The piece is thoroughly antinomic, divided into two by its monadic and polyphonic orchestration and structure, with the wind and string instruments ever oscillating between single and spit tones. The work wonderfully illustrates the great expressiveness of spectralism, which was originally pereived as a simple experiment without any future. This work is followed by Sequenza XII for fagotto solo and Dai Fujikura's Concerto for Bassoon.
