FZ's final project: The music of his favorite composer, Edgard Varèse.





He wanted a performance and a recording that would sound the way he had always dreamed of hearing it. This is finally a state-of-the-art recording that captures the true power and inner detail of Varèse's works. FZ said,"Varèse's music has never been given the credit it deserves and I believe it's because the technology was never there to record the compositions properly". This album was recorded in July of 1993 at the Warner Bros. soundstage in Burbank, CA utilizing custom audio snakes and all tube microphone pre-amps recorded directly to the Sony 3324 digital multi-track.

The music was conducted by Peter Eötvos and performed by some of the members of The Ensemble Modern. A release date has not yet been set.
