Igor Wakhévitch’s Composition for Salvador Dalí’s Opera-Poem ‘Être Dieu’

“The most astonishing music I have heard in some years is the new Box Set of Igor Wakhévitch — 6 CDs, from 1970-79. Amazing approach to sound, from classical to experimental, psychadelia to film music. Ominous and beautiful, then clamorous and Wagnerian. At some points it sounds like contemporary electronic music, then shifts seamlessly into a full classical orchestra. You must buy this.”

–Letter from Michael Gira (Swans) – November 10, 1998
