Born in Paris in 1883, Varèse studied composition and piano with d’Indy and Widor. Later he moved to Berlin and built strong links with R.Strauss and Busoni. The earliest work known is Ameriques, a composition for large orchestra written in 1921 and recorded here. He developed a wholly new cosmos of sounds, characterized by a multitude of dissonant chords and a complex rhythmic polyphony.
