Cover: ex description:
Original psychedelic reflective silver cover issue of these avant garde harpsichord works performed by Elisabeth Chojnacka, incorporating experimental playing techniques and exploiting the percussive and rhythmic possibilities of the venerable keyboard instrument and the acrobatic abilities of the performer. The highlight is a piece by Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza member Aldo Clementi. The Finzi, Miroglio, Constant, and Tisne works were all commissioned by Chojnacka especially for this album. This record is part of the great Philips silver series of experimental music that issued legendary recordings by Gilbert Amy, Pierre Henry, Arne Nordheim, Pierre Schaeffer, Francois Bayle, Bernard Parmegiani, Dubravko Detoni, Luc Ferrari, Ivo Malec, and Gottfried Michael Koenig.

artist info from album notes etc.:
Clementi was a member of the pioneering electronic improv collective Gruppe Nuova Consonanza (Il Gruppo) along with Franco Evangelisti, Mario Bertoncini, John Heineman, Larry Austin, John Eaton, Ennio Morricone, Egisto Macchi, Frederic Rzewski, and Roland Kayn. Ligeti was a Hungarian composer who studied under Ferenc Farkas and Sandor Veress and explored methods of micropolyphony/tone-clustering as well as early electronic music; he was influenced by Zoltan Kodaly and Bela Bartok, and was peers with John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Henri Pousseur, Pierre Boulez, Olivier Messiaen, Mauricio Kagel, and Iannis Xenakis at the famous Darmstadt courses. Berio was a pupil of Luigi Dallapiccola and Olivier Messiaen, collaborated with Italo Calvino, was married to Cathy Berberian, associated with Karlheinz Stockhausen, Pierre Boulez, and Luigi Dallapiccola, taught Steve Reich, founded the Milan Studio di Fonologia early electronic music studio with Bruno Maderna (where John Cage, Henri Pousseur, Luigi Nono, Andre Boucourechliev, and Bengt Hambraeus worked), and directed the electroacoustic department of ICRAM in Paris. Constant studied composition under Arthur Honegger, Nadia Boulanger, and Olivier Messiaen, and conducting with Jean Fournet; he founded the instrumental ensemble Ars Nova, was an early member of the INA-GRM, and also worked in film and television (he wrote the theme to The Twilight Zone). Miroglio is a French composer, poet, and painter who studied with Darius Milhaud and collaborated with visual artists Alexander Calder, Joan Miro and Michel Seuphor.
