Description:
Benjamin augurs well to become the most important British composer of his generation. An Antara' is a Peruvian panpipe. Benjamin's 1987 work synthesizes its sound via computer and adds trombones, flutes, percussion and strings for a 20-minute essay that dazzles as much for its textures (from lush strings to the wham of an orchestral anvil) as it does for its alert rhythmic scheme.
