In the early '60s, Robert Craft's Columbia recordings of Varèse's works were important contributions to the catalog and hailed for giving this music greater exposure. The album includes Poème Electronique composed and recorded onto magnetic tape to be played from 400 loudspeakers, complimenting the parabolic and hyperbolic curves of Le Corbusier's pavillion at the Brussels World's Fair in 1958
