And while we're at it, also try "L'Oeuvre Musicale" (recently reissued by
EMF in a 3CD box) by Pierre Schaeffer. It also contains two collaborations
with Henry ("Bidule en ut" and the historical "Symphonie pour un homme
seul") and a solo Henry composition titled "Echo d'Orphée, pour P.
Schaeffer".
There far more ideas in these three records than in the whole discography
of, say, Francisco Lopez, not that it's a difficult task, to be frank!
