Pierre Schaeffer booked himself & Henry for a show at the new music festival in Donaueschingen (which has taken place every October since the 1920s), and their contribution was probably the newest thing the festival ever saw before or since: an opera made out of noises. Truth is though, Pierre Henry didn't just rework orchestral styles using new source material. He seems to've reinvented the symphonic form whole- with gigantic strides in rhythm & shape to go along with his unusual textures. Besides all that, there's a lot of whispering & yelling, & schwings of piano insides. Both edits (one is quite a bit longer) of the piece, along with some short percussion experiments. Tracklisting: Le Voile D'Orphee I, Le Voile D'Orphee II, Entite, Spirale.
