I've just received a new Birtwistle recording from the NMC label. Cortege, which made such a strong impression at an Ensemble Intercontemporain performance at the Philharmonie de Paris earlier this spring, isn't on the disc, but Angel Fighter, In Broken Images, and the miniature Virelai, three other works of the past decade, are included.
