Edgard Victor Achille Charles Varèse (1883 - 1965)

Déserts (1954) is Varèse's masterpiece. This work is composed of four parts, called "episodes", where common instruments (fourteen winds, piano and five percussions) play, and three moments (the "interpolations") where only a recorded tape of factory and percussive sounds is playing.
By the title, Varèse meant "not only physical deserts of land and sea [...] but also this distant inner space where man is alone in a world of mystery and inner solitude".

From "Varèse: The Complete Works" (1998), director Riccardo Chailly
