This past 16 December the Pompidou Centre in Paris hosted the premiere of Chamber Symphony Quasikristall, a chamber symphony with electronics by the Barcelona composer Hèctor Parra. Here is a comment from the press: The Ensemble Intercontemporain and the IRCAM present the result of the commissions for ensemble with or without electronics. [...] Written for sixteen instruments and electronics, Chamber Symphony-Quasikristall, by the Spaniard Hèctor Parra (born 1976), advances through sequences of impeccably drawn lines and lively content. A stunning achievement. LE MONDE | 18.12.2005
