Franck Bedrossian’s monumental Epigram cycle, which has become one of the iconic works of this decade, is finally available to an international audience. Twist, another orchestral piece, portraits his collaboration with IRCAM, and Edges shows Bedrossian as a chamber music composer. After teaching at the University of Berkeley, Bedrossian will return to Europe as the new composition professor at the Kunstuniversität in Graz in early 2020, which makes this release on the Austrian KAIROS label all the more timely.
