Classical synthesis and others

2002-07-01 by geblinkoort

There were several messages about using synthesizers in the classical 
field. Well, Messiaen, Milhaud and Charpentier (Jacques) wrote works 
for Ondes Martenot and piano/percussion. Specialy the work by 
Messiaen for a sextet of Ondes Martenots is very interesting. It's 
not really 'synthesizer', but hey.... There is at least one concert 
for synthesizer and orchestra, but I forgot who wrote it. I will look 
into it.

BTW two other interesting non-classical albums are the music which 
was used for the BBC serie 'The Celts' by Ennia (not quite the Ennia 
you know! According to the booklet entirely non-Moog) and 'The First 
Seven Days' by Jan Hammer (*very* interesting!). If anyone knows 
where I can get this on CD, please let me know. I now only have a few 
tracks on a compilation CD called 'The Early Years'.
