Revolutionary, experimental, thought-provoking and original, the music of Pierre Henry sits among the many divergent musical styles that came out of the last century. ‘Musique concrète’ also reaches a new audience outside of the strictly classical sphere and finds appeal in particular with an audience interested in the early experimental electronic scene.

  • 12-CDs celebrating the 90th birthday of one of the 20th-Century’s most influential composers: Pierre Henry
  • Every recording personally selected and remastered by the composer himself
  • NINE works released for the first time
  • 112-page booklet including: Notes on every work presented (written mostly by Pierre Henry himself), new liner notes (English/French) by journalist and Pierre Henry expert Renaud Machart, and numerous rare photographs
