Number Nine

Alarm Will Sound has a new disc entitled Modernists, featuring works by Wuorinen, Rihm, Augusta Read Thomas, John Orfe, and Varèse. The lead track is the Beatles' "Revolution 9," in an arrangement by Matt Marks. The Sibelius Seventh doesn't come through as strongly as I'd expect, but it's otherwise a brilliant piece of work, arguably an improvement on the original.
