Decca Galaxie Pierre Henry

With the “Galaxie Pierre Henry “with compositions by the 'Musique Concrète' pioneer Pierre Henry, Decca France presents a 13-CD anthology by an influential composer of the 20th century. Thirty-three works are published here for the first time, which is a good third of the entire edition. Together with the edition 'Polyphonies' published in 2017, this results in a comprehensive overview of Pierre Henry's work. “Galaxie Pierre Henry” contains pioneering compositions such as Le Voyage and the fair pour le temps présent (his most famous piece, created in collaboration with choreographer Maurice Béjart) as well as the Variations pour une porte et un soupir, among others. ren La Note Seule and Grand tremblement, both composed in 2017: his last works that bring his musical universe to an completed conclusion — the universe of a musician who remained an innovator for three generations. After studying at the Paris Conservatory with Olivier Messiaen and Nadia Boulanger, Henry worked with Pierre Schäffer in the Studio d'Essai RTF (the “Experimental Studio” of the French Radio), where they jointly wrote the first major masterpiece of electronic music symphony pour un homme seul. Henry used the ever-evolving technologies to explore unprecedented musical universes. Recognizing not only the importance of sound recordings, but also sounds synthesized in the studio, he attracted avant-garde composers such as Karlheinz Stockhausen and Edgard Varèse. Alain Lompech wrote in Le Monde in 1996: “The reality of Pierre Henry's music is in no way fixed by time; its evocative power and poetics are perhaps the most exceptional quality that Western music has produced: the buzz of the world that has been made into a work of art.” Repertoire CD 1 1-7 Le Voyage (1962) 8 Prisme (1973) CD 2 1-25 Variations pour une porte et un soupir (1963) 26 Hugosymphony — Gouttes d'eau 2 (2008) CD 3 1-6 Liverpool Fair (1967) 7 La noire à 60 + Granulomé Trie (1967) CD 4 1-12 Apocalypse de Jean (1968) Premier & deuxième temps CD 5 1-8 Apocalypse de Jean (1968) Troisième, Quatrième & cinquième temps 9 Jérusalem (1968) * CD 6 1-21 Mouve****-**-***** (1970) CD 7 1-11 Futuristie (1975) & nbsp; CD 8 1-8 Pierres réfléchies (1982) 9 Envol (2010) 10-14 Coexistence (1958) CD 9 1-15 Intérieur/Extérieur (1996) CD 10 1-8 Dracula (2002) 9 Ma Grande Pâque Russe (1993) * 10 Professor Robot (2010) * & nbsp; CD 11 1 Art de la Fugue Odyssée (2011) 2 Entité (1959) 3 Miroirs du Temps (2008) 4 Strette Symphony collector (2010) * CD 12 1-5 Mass pour le temps présent (1967) (Henry/Colombier) 6 Grand Remix (2015) 7 Tokyo 2002 (1998) 8 Fragments Rituels — Mé Tamorphose (2013) * 9 Machine danse (1970) * 10 Utopia Hip-Hop — Final (2009) * 11 Astrodanse (1971) * 12 Construction tournante (2007) *
