The New York Times recently asked the question "Who is the most influential European
composer of the moment?" and answered that no name "comes to mind more immediately
than that of Helmut Lachenmann: The best of his work takes you by the hand and will
not let you go until it has shown you things you could not have suspected." The
first New Series disc by the great German composer/inventor resounds with
startling sound-events, realized brilliantly - and dramatically - by the
Ensemble Modern and the Ensemble Modern Orchestra, under the inspired direction
of Peter Eötvös. These compositions from 1974/75, 1983/84 and 1992 represent
key moments in Lachenmann's restless voyage of sound-discovery
