Occasional Variations
Milton Babbitt, William Anderson, ...

Tzadik, 2003

featuring two serialist string quartets
That Milton Babbitt is a composer I should hear I figured out several years ago when I became interested in contemporary classical music. Babbitt was an American pioneer, taking the 12-tone music of Schoenberg and Webern further into total, or integral, serialism. ...
  
  











  



  
Babbitt: Soli e Duettini
Milton Babbitt, Marshall Taylor, ...

Naxos American, 2006

one of USA's greatest living composers.Bubbling over with invention.
Babbitt wears a benign,gently humorous expression on his face for the front cover of the CD and this is amply expressed in some of the music on this collection-basically a reissue of a Koch classics release. My personal favourites are: 1. 'Around the Horn'which ...
  
  











  



  
Cage; Carter; Babbitt; Schuller
Milton Babbitt, John Cage, ...

Polygram Records, 1994

Outstanding Recording!
The Carter, Cage, Babbitt and Schuller are spectacularly colorful and vivid. This is great music that deserves its place in the cannon. Each composer is well represneted here - superb recording! Especially of note here is the Carter Variations for Orchestra - A ...
  
  











  



  
Ohm: The Early Gurus of Electronic Music Special Edition 3CD + DVD
Maryanne Amacher, Robert Ashley, ...

Ellipsis Arts, 2005

A great collection of important works
This is an excellent collection of pre-1980s electronic music. It probably goes without saying, but just to be clear, the music here is part of the academic/experimental music tradition and more popular forms of electronic music such as Kraftwerk or Jean-Jacques Perry ...
  
  











  



  
Songs of America
Samuel Adler, Milton Babbitt, ...

Nonesuch, 1992

a beautiful rendition of 20th Century American Song
This is a great album. It spans the spectrum of 20th Century American music from the tonality and romanticism of Stephen Foster to the experimentality of John Cage. Jan DeGaetani and Gilbert Kalish, with their understanding and sensitivity to the music of their time, ...
  
  











  



  
IN TRANSIT
Timothy McAllister, William Albright, ...

INNOVA, 2006

Unbelievable
Dr. McAllister is an absolutely phenomenal and relentlessly hungry performer and this disc certainly shows it. I can't think of anyone that could come close to this performance of Streetlegal, unbelievable soprano playing. The Albright is simply the finest performance ...
  
  











  



  
Where Silence Reigns
Sanford Sylvan, Richard Robinson, ...

G.M. Recordings, 1995
  
  











  



  
Babbitt: Piano Music Since 1983
Milton Babbitt, Martin Goldray

Composers Recordings, 1997

Let this music engage you. Beautiful or not, it may hook you
It is hard to disagree that beauty is in the ear of the listener or that not all art is about beauty. Either way, this music is not for everyone. I for one happen to love it and want to get to know it better. I do not read scores as I listen or know enough about ...
  
  











  



  
American Spiritual
Milton Babbitt, Michael Finnissy, ...

Cri (Composers Recordings Inc), 2000
  
  











  



  
The Juilliard String Quartet
Joel Krosnick, Milton Babbitt, ...

Composers Recordings, 1994

An unknown masterpiece
While I originally purchased this disc out of curiosity for the Babbitt, I unwittingly unearthed a gem in the Sessions quartet. This is an immensely beautiful work that ebbs and flows between spareness and density in a way that the works of Schoenberg or Bartok (of ...
  
  











  



  
Prime Meridian
Daniel Grabois, Milton Babbitt, ...

Channel Classics Nl, 1995

Uplifting
The great advantage of using Amazon.com is one has an opportunity to listen to a sample of a CD prior to purchasing it. I did this with PRIME MERIDIAN. This opportunity caused me to purchase it. I love the stylishness of the tracks on this CD. For me, the music ...
  
  











  



  
Milton Babbitt: Philomel
Milton Babbitt, Jerry Kuderna, ...

New World Records, 1995

Don't overdo the math
Babbitt is interested in how details relate to deeper structure. To achieve this there must be deeper structure, and in Babbitt's music there is the most impressive, Brahmsian depth of structure. Some of the ways of achieving this can be described in mathematical ...
  
  











  



  
OHM: The Early Gurus of Electronic Music
Brian Eno, Maryanne Amacher, ...

Ellipsis Arts, 2000

Not your grandson's electronic music
For those who are unacquainted, this set is the gateway into an entirely new experience of sound. Few listeners, and likely not many practitioners, for that matter, of dance, techno, and trance fully appreciate the extent to which "electronic music," as we know it, was ...
  
  











  



  
The Music of Milton Babbitt: Premiere Works
Allen Blustine, Ayako Oshima, ...

Bridge Records, Inc., 2003

swan Song No.1 is the overwhelming highlight for me
By a hairs breath,this disc has the edge on the recently issued Naxos compilation of Babbitt's music. The composers word setting is shown to brilliant advantage in Quatrains (1993):a nice balance between exquisite moment to moment detail and sense of whole.Tony ...
  
  











  



  
Babbitt: Concerto For Piano And Orchestra/The Head Of The Bed
Chris Finckel, Anand Devendra, ...

New World Records, 1992

Between Scylla and Charybdis
The lousy review below is actually damn funny, but in a black humor way I'm sure the author never intended. Please check out his other reviews--they're all of Milton Babbitt recordings and he actually mentions Spengler, of all people. I notice it's getting hip among ...
