John Zorn - Alea Iacta Est (CD)

Composed from 2020 to 2024, Alea Iacta Est (The Die is Cast) is one of Zorn's most challenging masterworks-a complex and varied piano concerto that runs the gamut of moods, styles, and tempi. Performed brilliantly by four of the most trusted and passionate interpreters of his work-the trio of Brian Marsella, Jorge Roeder, Ches Smith, with guest star Sae Hashimoto on vibraphone on one track-this stunning new work is an essential piece of the Zorn puzzle. Astonishing!
