"Delusion of the Fury organically interweaves music, theater, and movement into a haunting, otherworldly tapestry. The imposing presence of Partch’s homebuilt instruments heightens the emotional subtext of the Japanese and African tales upon which this work is based. Completed in 1965, Delusion of the Fury was premiered four years later at UCLA, and subsequently recorded for CBS Masterworks."
