Top 10 pieces featuring recordings

[MrGongGong]

A personal interest is the integration of recordings into instrumental and vocal music
So
Starting with "The Pines of Rome"
moving on to "And God Created Great Whales"
"Cantus Arcticus" , "Jesus Blood" and "Trans"

any other favourites ? (Fog Tropes ? etc etc )


(or is this such a small niche that its only me in there ?)

Fog Tropes is fascinating, any other Ingram Marshall works you recommend? I admire the works of Roberto Gerhard, and of course he uses tape and orchestra in his 3rd Symphony 'Collages' Both the Lyrita and Chandos recordings are spectacular, I just hope that the Gerhard estate has retained his originally compiled electronics for other performances.
Do you want to confine discussion to the use of real sounds, or are electronic compositions in the list ?

I would quite like to include some "unreal" sounds

I was mostly thinking of pieces that have pre-recorded parts rather than live electronics (so Trans rather than Mixtur )

I seem to remember Ingram Marshall's "The Fragility Cycles" being good as well but have yet to buy a CD
thanks for reminding me of Gerhard he is often overlooked

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

Anything played on an electric piano is using recordings.

[vinteuil]

Reich's Come Out [1966]

[MrGongGong]

Surely you mean "Different Trains"
Come out is a tape piece

and
"Anything played on an electric piano is using recordings"
eeer not always

or (to mis/quote the great Trevor Wishart) "all CDs and broadcasts are electronic music"

[Bryn]

Varèse Déserts, Reich Different Trains (etc., etc.), PMD Missa super l'homme armé. Um, Renault F1 Symphony.

[Dave2002]

Can't do many - but Tippett 4th Symphony has a recorded sigh.

[Byas'd Opinion]

Another three pieces, all worth a listen.

Berio's Naturale: viola, percussion, and recordings of Sicilian folk song.

Salonen: Wing on Wing, for orchestra, two sopranos and the recorded voice of Frank Gehry.

Heiner Goebbels' Surrogate Cities, a "suite for sampler and orchestra".

[Tapiola]

Stockhausen: Mittwochs Abschied
Maxwell Davies: Vesalii Icones
Cage: Roaratorio

[makropulos]

One that does "featuring" rather than strictly speaking "integrating" that I was listening to this afternoon: Bernstein's Fancy Free (with the pre-recorded "Big Stuff" as a curtain-raiser)
