The Swedish label BIS, with its characteristic precision and breadth, documents the Kroumata Percussion Ensemble alongside flutist Manuela Wiesler in a programme that triangulates three very different modernisms: André Jolivet, the French composer whose percussion writing drew on ritual and incantation; Lou Harrison, whose approach to tuning, melody and world music separates him from almost all his American contemporaries; John Cage, present as the unavoidable reference point for any serious percussion programme of the era; and Swedish composer Sven David Sandström. A European perspective on music that was largely American in origin.
