Audiophile quality pressing at \u003cstrong\u003eOptimal\u003c\/strong\u003e in Germany.\u003cbr\u003eRadigue insisted that her music only be released on vinyl if the pieces would fit without being edited or cut. Triptych met those requirements leaving room for an \u003cstrong\u003eetching on the 4th side\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eBack to music after three years of silence...\u003cbr\u003eOn the suggestion of Robert Ashley, Douglas Dunn commissioned Triptych from Eliane Radigue for choreography. Only the first part of Triptych was staged at the premiere at the Dancehall\/Theatre of Nancy on February 27 1978.\u003cbr\u003eRecorded in the composer's studio in Paris.\u003cbr\u003eAfter the 1974 premiere of Adnos in San Francisco, a group of French students introduced Eliane Radigue to Tibetan Buddhism. When she returned to Paris, she began to explore this spirituality in depth, which slowed her musical production up until 1978. Triptych marks her return to composition, and draws its inspiration from \"the spirit of the fundamental elements\", water, air, fire, earth\"\u003cbr\u003eEliane Radigue likes to add that this has often been useful to her in her moments of research and transitions.\u003cbr\u003eThis three-part composition, with its great humility and contemplative simplicity, heralded a new period of her work and was the first in a series of masterpieces inspired by Tibetan Buddhism: Adnos Trilogy (1980), Songs of Milarepa (1983) - with the voices of Lama Kunga Rinpoche and Robert Ashley , \"Jetsun Mila\"(1986), as well as the Trilogy of Death: Kyema (1988), Kailasha (1991) and Koume (1993).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArchival images included in the accompanying booklet.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Manu Holterbach (translation: Maxime Guitton)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IMPORTANT RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"2LP Edition","offer_id":54753246347587,"sku":"RPT-30069","price":45.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/1601\/8499\/files\/FOR_20260818_1520_142241_836_p_5325718a-263e-40fa-90df-f653223c32b0_3_001.jpg?v=1787063996","url":"https:\/\/www.recordplant.co.uk\/products\/eliane-radigue-triptych","provider":"Record Plant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
