One of the key thinkers of Russian music of the second half of the 20th century, Edison Denisov left a major legacy.
This CD presents works from his late period, among them Au plus haut des cieux – a setting of texts by Georges Bataille – which is emblematic of these compositions. The deeply spiritual music recorded here echoes words to be found in Denisov's personal notebooks: ‘Before the face of the Night, I am alone and powerless.'
