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
