London Sinfonietta, Oliver Knussen - Charles Wuorinen: Cyclops 2000/ A Reliquary for Igor Stravinsky
Wuorinen's single movement, single-minded 'Cyclops 2000' uses the idea of a single entity created from many tiny sections - a single eye made up of many lenses. It is coupled with 'A Reliquary', his tribute to Igor Stravinsky.
Reviews:
"Cyclops 2000 is ... an impressively argued single movement. The work makes for an exhilarating ride, and it possesses a final destination that is quite unexpected."
The Guardian
"A distinct curiosity but a rewarding one"
The Observer
