Boulez, Messiaen, Dutilleux and Varèse, but no Jolivet in my collection. A bit of a blind spot for me. I don’t know much about his music. I’ve ordered this 4 CD set of recordings ranging from late 1950s to late 1970s, mainly with the composer conducting. Doesn’t contain any symphonies or ballet works, though.
What CD, book, DVD etc are you waiting for?

But might give them all another spin.

Originally posted by Richard Barrett View PostJolivet had a very strong influence on Messiaen at a certain point, but IMO his music is a lot less interesting. Also I seem to recall those recordings sounding a bit harsh.

Two promising new books on their way here - Yuval Noah Harari's Homo Deus, the follow-up to his Sapiens, and John le Carré's sort of autobiog, The Pigeon Tunnel - he was on the radio explaining the title.
